re: Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \winnt\system32\config\SYSTEMced Friday, April 1, 2005 at 5:40 am Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Jeffrey (1 messages posted) I have run into a similar situation and unfortunately the suggestions posted have not corrected the system. I had to reinstall everything and restore my data from tapes. My question is just for morbid curiousity. Now that my server is running normally is it possible to change the System and system.alt files to read only? Or phrased more appropriately, what would happen if I changed the files to read-only? I believe I already know the answer, but I’m to chicken to test it and I’m without resources to make a new test system. Thanks in advance.
