Files or directory\Windows\System32 is corrupt or unreadable

Hi, I have a lenovo T61p laptop. I am having an issue with trying to start the laptop. It is running Vista and we are getting the following error – files or directory\Windows\System32 is corrupt or unreadable. Please run the chdsk utility.
I am also seeing an error saying: The instruction at 0x7637c511 referenced memory at 0x00000002. The memory could not be written.
Vista came pre-installed so i do not have a disc.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how we could fix the issue?

Check the Hard disk.Try the bootable version of Lenovo Hard drive quick test

Firefox can't find the file at /C:/WINDOWS/system32/oobe/icserror/icsdc.htm

I deleted a stack of files and must have accidentally deleted this one. I restored my computer and all the other files came back except this one. I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled and still I get Firefox can't find the file at /C:/WINDOWS/system32/oobe/icserror/icsdc.htm
This version also won't let me use my AVG plug in? Says it's not compatible

hello tanisha625, it looks like some program has overwritten the default new tab page. you can either install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/ searchreset addon] to get rid of the problem or manually reset the page that opens on each new tab.
enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up), search for the preference named '''browser.newtab.url''' and double-click & change its value to '''about:newtab'''.

Mailed PDF files arrive on Windows platform as corrupt Windows Media files

Recently I mailed some .pdf files to 3 of the Windows machines on our network. Each of them reported that when attempting to open the .pdf file on the Windows machine, their system tried to use Windows Media instead of Adobe Reader. Of course they received an error message. When they saved the .pdf files on their machines, the files opened correctly in Adobe Reader.
These are files that I downloaded from the State of Oregon. After we had problems there, I mailed them some of the .pdf files I had created. Same results. The Windows machine treats them as corrupt Windows Media files.
I am the only Mac in our company. Of course the problem must be mine!?!
I am using MS Entourage as my mail client.
Suggestions? Comments? Answers?
Thanks!!

Kappy,
No problem! Your suggestions were what made me consider the extension option in Entourage's preferences. Unfortunately, it didn't work.
Your suggestion also prompted me to try the same thing using Mail. Mail worked just fine, so the problem is in how Entourage handles the .pdf file being sent to a Windows computer where it will be opened either in Outlook or Internet Explorer.
It seems that Somewhere along the line, the .pdf extension is being changed to a .png extension which triggers the launch of Windows Media Browser.
I just rebuilt the Entourage database and I'll see what happens now.

How to repair corrupt \windows\system32\config\system files?

T61 will not boot to Win XP - says the \windows\system32\config\system file is missing or corrupt.
BIOS hardware test of disk drive passes. When I place a Microsoft Win XP disk to attempt a repair, the message says there is no disk drive detected. I assume this is due to unique Lenovo HDD drivers that are not on the Microsoft disk.
Is there a way to repair this file(s) without doing a full HDD reformat?
THank you.

You need to include the Intel Matrix Storage manager via Floppy disk while running setup-CD or change in BIOS "Config"-SATA" to compatibility.
Then you can repair windows but first backup the hard drive onto annother disk f.ex with Acronis True Image Home (Emergency CD).
Boot from XP Retail-CD
`select "Install"
select the drive with the found windows installation and "Repir"
Windows Setup removes the system files and replaces them from CD
after systemreboot you willneed to re-install all patches and updates

Windows cannot start due to file is missing or corrupt Windows/system32/config/system

How do I recover system file from recovery disc ?

Hi,
You can get your missing file from an original windows installation disk.
To replace it you'll need a bootable CD or DVD to start your computer then put the file system (note that there is no extension) in Windows/system32/config/

Ipod cannot be synced. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable

I have recently had to reload windows xp home edition on my computer and wanted to connect my ipod to load some new music. As it was a new installation the ipod was not recognised. I loaded to latest version of itunes that I have just downloaded and was asked whether I wanted to sync my ipod with this computer in which case I would lose everything that was on the ipod. I choose yes to sync to the new computer but got the error message "the ipod "ipod" cannot be synced. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable". I simply recharged the ipod and continued to use it for a day but then it just ran through the tracks without playing anything until it came to the end of an album and returned to the main menu.
As I cannot play anything I wanted to restore and reload but cant. Could anyone offer any help ? Thanks

I have just managed to connect my ipod through itunes to restore it. However when I tried to connect it to the wall socket to complete the update nothing happens. I have checked the fuse in the plug and that is okay, but the ipod does nothing, not even a light on the display when connected. It seems to have locked up. If I hold it close to my ear I can hear a gentle hum. Also the ipod is not showing up in windows explorer.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks

Ipod cannot be synced. File or directory is corrupted and unreadable.

After I tried reconnecting my ipod to my computer, the message "The iPod cannot be synced. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable." popped up in iTunes and it wouldn't let me access any of the songs on my ipod. I ejected it and checked the ipod, and all of my songs were still on there, but whenever I try and connect it to iTunes the same message pops up and when I go to the music list, nothing is there, though it states 3 GBs of space is being taken up (the amount of space my songs use).
I figured the problem might lay in iTunes and not my iPod, but while there was a problem and I did manage to fix it, the newly downloaded iTunes still gave me the same message as before.
I figure I could try reformatting the iPod, since it looks like that might solve the problem, but I don't have any of the songs on my iPod backed up, so I was hoping someone might be able to offer another solution. =/
*To sum things up: songs are still on my iPod and I can listen to them after ejecting, but syncing up to iTunes is no longer possible (so no new music ;_; ). Problem most likely isn't with iTunes and I'd prefer not to reformat the iPod.*

Error code: 0xc0000001 file: \windows\system32\winload.efi missing or contains errors

I have a new 2 month old(Aug 2014) hp eliteone 800 all in one computer running win 8.1 64bit. i have two 1 tb hard drives raid configuration. left computer on for an afternoon and when I came back it was off mysteriously. tried to turn on and it
attempted to repair and was never able to repair. hp sent a new windows 8 software to install, they said os was corrupt. installed three times now i get error code: 0xc0000001 file: \windows\system32\winload.efi missing or contains errors. hp said installation
disc probably corrupt and sent me another. installed twice with same result, error code: 0xc0000001 file: \windows\system32\winload.efi missing or contains errors. This began after the computer was just one month old and after i had placed 300-400
gb of my personal data from other computers on it. I need all of these files so can't just recover/delete all of the files on the computer, although i have read that that may be my only solution? If i do recover will the files still be on the second hard drive??
can you help with this problem?? thanks.

Hi Richard,
Did you try to repair or reinstall the system when you insert the new media?
Have you tried to carry out a system recovery, which will restore your system back to factory defaults and how was the result?
In addition, I suggest you use the new installation media to do a clean install(full format the old system).

Windows To Go windows/system32/Winload.exe corrupt or missing

I have a windows to go hard drive and an error came up recently saying "windows/system32/winload.exe corrupt or missing". I made a recovery drive from normal windows 8 but it cant detect the windows to go hard drive (I think its because its only
looking to internal hard drives). any help would be appreciated. thanks
EDIT:: it should say winload in the title

Hi!
My name is Long.
I've got the same issue like you and resolved that without repartition and reinstall window to to.
I will so you step by step what i did to resolve the error with winload.exe corrupt or missing. I hove that will help you resolve your problem too.
As you known: Window to go run in a external harddrive with 2 partitions. The first Partition have 350 MB (FAT32, active partition and it contain boot files). The second partition have remaining space (contain window files).
The first you need a computer have a working window 7 or 8 OS(recommend window 8 or highter)
Plug your window to go hard drive to the window.
Assign the first partition 350 MB by disk manager with letter Z: (normally the fist partition 350 MB is not mounted)
Assign the second (contain windows files) with letter O:
Delete all file in the partition Z:
Open CMD and do the command.
O:\windows\system32\bcdboot O:\windows /f ALL /s Z:
Restart and boot to window to go.
If you want to know why i did that, read below:
(External Hard Drive = EHD)
i found a lot of the suggests in the internet and did that.
- I had try to replace the winload.exe file in the second partition but it not effect.
- I replace the registry data in folder \windows\system32\config but it not effect.
- I did some commands found in the internet but not effect too. (https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/1b2045b9-7fef-47f0-aea3-1e185fb7544c/fix-winloadexe-is-missing-or-corrupt-no-its-not)
- System repair not work with EHD.
After i did all the ways found in the internet, i think that, the problem is not due to winload.exe file.
I read the tips to install window togo again and i try to reinstall the window to go without repartition.
The install have 2 steps:
- 1: Partition and set active.
- 2: Copy file and make boot
I ignor the first step because my EHD have got 2 partitons like the tips.
I delete all file and folder relate to window except my pertional data (in the 2nd partition).
I extract install.wim file and copy all to the 2nd partition. I restart and boot to EHD but it still got error.
I'm used Bootice and check the MBR of EHD and i got unknown MBR. I think the the problem.
So I used Bootice software, set MBR of EHD = Windows NT 6.x. and I
Set PBR to 2 partitions are BOOTMGR boot record (FAT32/NTFS/ExFAT). I restart and boot to EHD but it still got error.
Next, I delete all file in 1st partition of EHD.
I Open CMD and do the command
"o:\windows\system32\bcdboot o:\windows /f ALL /s z:"
after that, i restart and boot to EHD and it worked. The window to go work perfect but i lost all settings :)
So i think the 2nd partition and all files is ok. The problem is by the 1st partition.

Windows Deployment Service corrupts \systemroot\system32\config\software in images.

Hello,
Recently we have upgraded to Server 2012 R2 to handle our WDS services but some images are not deploying correctly.
When checking the event log on the machines that do not deploy correctly, the following error message is discovered: "\systemroot\system32\config\software was corrupted and it has been recovered'
We can restore the SOFTWARE registry backup from the regback folder and this corrects the problem, but this has to be done after the image is deployed and takes a lot of time.
The WIM files all deploy fine in all instances of deployment on Server 2008 R2, using DISM directly and ImageX.
For one image, this only occurs on certain machines. It has been tested on 3 Z200 with the same hardware setup and the error occurs on 2 consistently and does not occur on the 3rd.
On another one of the images, this error occurs every time it is deployed using Server 2012 R2 but never when deployed using WDS on Server 2008 R2, DISM or ImageX.
This occurs whether the deployment is set attended or unattended. The majority of deployments have been tested without using an unattended file to eleminate variables.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Any ideas would be appreciated.
Edit:
We have also exported the WIM file of the image that always "breaks" from WDS 2012 R2 and successfully deployed it every time using 2008R2 WDS DISM and ImageX.
We have created separate folders for these problem WIM files so that the RES file only contains the information from the specific WIM that is having problems; this does not fix the problem.
Edit 2:
There is an error in setupact.log but it onlys says that the mentioned registry setting is malformed or corrupt. I tried a web search on this and had results but the majority of the answers were related to errors sysprepping.

We have discovered that this is only happening to target computers with installed
RAM greater than 4gb. If the machine has greater than 4gb of RAM, the mentioned corruption occurs. If the machine has
4gb or less, the corruption does not occur. We still have not found a fix for this, (besides removing the excess RAM during imaging and reinstalling after.) Any ideas/thoughts would be helpful! Thank you in advance.

DLL file in Windows\system32 folder cannot be found by regsvr32 even though the file is visible in Windows Explorer

I am trying to register a DLL on a Windows 7 ultimate, 64-bit computer (all SPs installed).
The file resides in c:\windows\system32.
The DLL file is clearly visible in Windows Explorer. The file is not hidden. It is not marked Read-Only. All users can access it.
When I run regsvr32 it responds that the file cannot be found. It says to check the path.
The same thing happens when I run from the command prompt if c:\windows\system32.
When I try to open using Dependency Walker, it also cannot find the file.
Does anybody know what's happening here? I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone.
Thanks.

Hi,
You could run SFC command to see if you fix any corrupted system file.
If this cannot help, try to replace this file with a known good copy.
For the detailed steps, you could follow the link below:

C:\windows\system32\prevhost.exe error when adding files

When I attempt to add files to ITunes, I get the following C:\Windows\system32\prevhost.exe whic is a C++ runtime error. Therefore, I cannot add files this way. This is Windows 7 Home.

prevhost.exe is your Preview Handler Surrogate Host. It's a Windows OS file, so an sfc /scannow is worth a try with that:
