Just here for the activity... well not really

"Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt
C:\windows\system32\config\system"
Okay this is an extremely common problem I know (caused by me shutting off comp at bad time yeah I know), and I could have googled it, but I *did* try and find out prior to this post, but I ended up fucking up the situation.
So I'd like SEN's help, because you guys are less vauge than the rest of the internet.

EDIT: Fixed.
For reference:
1. Insert XP setup disc
2. Go into repair/restore console, and press "R" for the command prompt
3. chkdsk /r
4. Wait a good 3-7 hours
5. YES.
