Should go without saying that a file called "system" (no extension) in a directory 
called Config is not the same as a file called config.sys.  (Config.sys, BTW, is 
replaced by config.nt in XP.)

In any case, you probably have to do a repair/re-installation from the XP CD to repair 
this file and run windows again.
