Hello Frnds

When I start my Windows NT workstation 4.0, I receive the following error message:

Windows NT could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:

\%winnt%\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEMHardware Profile/Last Known Good menu

My questions are:
1. Can I fix this error if I don't have ERD ?
If it is possible, How to do it...
2. Can I use ERD from another computer (hardware and software specs are same, Basically it's a replica.) ?

I know that the "system" file in \%winnt%\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\ is corrupt.

Can I use the system file from the another system (Replica).

plz hep me out..

ThanX and Regards

Subha
