Unhappy Windows XP Corruption - config\SYSTEM

I have the following message at start-up: (Windows XP Pro)

Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
\system32\config\SYSTEM

Please insert original xp cd and select 'r' from the first scrn available

I have had a boot corruption erro before, but it was long ago on a different kind of file.

I checked to see if the file is still there and it is. I have tried copying the file over from another system's I386 directory. Did not work. I did notice that the files were a differnt size. Should I try copying the file from another system's config folder?

I am not sure how to use all of the recovery tools from the menu on the xp disc. How do I fix this?
