Almost certainly that isn't "config.sys" but "config system" It refers to C:\Windows\System32\Config\System
It's a hive, it contains the LOCAL MACHINE data in the registry. One of the most
important files on your computer.
Your best bet is to try a repair/reinstall using your XP CD. Boot from your XP CD,
choose Setup, then choose Repair This should (repeat, should) reinstall your OS
without affecting your data.
