Missing Config.sys for XP Home

[Onslaught34]

My friends mother just called me and told me she was missing the config.sys file for XP Home. She was wondering if there was any way to restore that file without the Home Cd? The problem is she lent her CD to her dad and he cant find it. I have a XP Pro Cd but I dont know if it would accomplish the same thing.

What would be the best route to restoring this file/computer withtout having to totally re-install?


Thanks

Hehe.

I'm betting she's not missing config.sys.

Query this forum on missing or corrupt windows\system32\config\system

See if that isn't a bit closer to her problem.

A config.sys file can be created in in any text editor, including notepad. Shouldn't need one except to load DOS drivers.
