    Before reformatting try doing a system restore to a previous date.

    i cant reformat with the disc either it wont say boot cd at bottom and i cant get into any mode to do a system restore. before windows loading screen shows up it gives the error windows/system/config fiel is missing or corrupt. i cant get into safe mode or anything.

    to reformat, try setting your bios to boot from your disc drive (with the windows disc inserted). post back and we'll see what we can do.
