OC led to hard restart which led to windows not loading

[RollWave]

the first time I tried to start it up again it said that the windows/system config or something to that effect was wrong and that I need to try and repair windows. How do I do this?

 

[RollWave]

i have WINDOWS XP HOME.

chkdsk in the recovery console found one or more errors. What command works next?

So, you overclocked, which led to a problem in windows. Have you gone back down to stock speeds?

 

[RollWave]

yeah, I'm back to stock speeds but the windows\system32\config\system (i think) is messed up

Same thing happened to me. Luckily I backup weekly. Can't help you much more.

 

[RollWave]

yeah. I forgot to partition this drive so I could back up stuff to another section...at least this reformat now gives me that chance. Well here we go again Got to love tooling around with computers right? The question is whether or not I'm going to try again hehe
