Please also confirm that the operating system is XP and is it Home or Professional It seems that this is a branded computer and you are attempting to restore from the CD that came with the computer is that correct. What is the problem please that is making this necessary. Many branded computers have both a recovery partition on the hard drive AND are provided with a reinstallation CD as well.

we highly recommend that you visit our Guide for New Members. Error 2 c:\minint\system32\restore.log Missing Discussion in 'Windows XP' started by oinchats, Jun 29, 2010. Thread Status: Not open for further replies. Advertisement oinchats Thread Starter Joined: Jun 29, 2010 Messages: 3 I deleted some files and then when I tried to reboot the computer my screen gives me the option of F1=setup or F10=System recovery. After I see the F1& F10 options when booting up the screen goes black for a while. Then the message http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/topic/314135-error-2cminintsystem-32restore-log-missing/ said Windows cannot start because the windows\system32\config\system file is missing or corrupt. It also said I can attempt to repair by using Windows Set-up using the original Set-up disc. I boought the computer at Costco and I dont think it came with set up discs. A few years ago I had problems with the computer and bought System Recovery discs (8) from HP. I have https://forums.techguy.org/threads/error-2-c-minint-system32-restore-log-missing.932157/ those. So I put disc 1 in the CD drive and it starts system recovery and then says cannot find log file restore.log. I pressed Okay and then it said the error 2 message in my title. Keep in mind that my screen is black so there is no Windows start or program button for me to click on. I have the system recovery discs from HP but there are files I do not want to lose so I dont want to do a complete system recovery unless that is the only way to use the computer again. Is there any way I can restore these missing files without losing data I saved on the C drive?
