BAD SYSTEM CONFIG INFO
 

I got this error message when booting.

Where is that info stored? Nothing on the net.

Thanks.

I can not provide a tecnical answer to your question, but when I
received that message, it was usually near the end of the life of the disk.

With one computer I was able to do a system restore to the original
installation, but that worked only a few times before the end

I suspect it occurs because the boot sector has become corrupt, OR if
you are luck the CPU battery is dying.

That's likely a registry file.

Registry files are protected by journaling.
NTFS is protected by its own layer of journaling.
When a system boots up, journaling allows repairing
damage during the last shutdown. You can roll back
changes which left files in an inconsistent state.

The next level of protection is using a System Restore
point, as they hold a set of registry files. On WinXP, the
frequency was once a day, so rolling back to yesterdays restore
point would fix it (with potential for file loss due to the
areas of the disk covered by SR). On Win10, the algorithm is
different, and the "regular" preparation of a SR point
is now once a week or longer. This reflects a belief in
how "reliable" the other mechanisms are.

The next level of protection is restoring the OS from the
backup image you made recently. You could also do single
file replacement from a backup (random access to backup
image using file viewer in backup program, copy a set of
registry files).

The path to some registry files is shown here, but the
information here isn't "100% golden". For example, I tested
the "hold down Shift to get into Safe Mode" the other day,
and it didn't work. You also have to be careful, that they're
not giving you a line of ********. If your registry files
are 100MB in size, and an instruction tells you to copy
a file which is only 5MB in size to replace it, what does
that tell you ? It tells you the file is "empty", and isn't
really a functional equivalent at all! I won't criticize
every step in here, without more research, and this is
just a warning to use your head when examining the
recipes offered here.

This information is from a 17134 (1803) installation, but I got
the number on the VHD wrong. In any case, it's meant to show
you some relative sizes on the registry files. Other people
install more software than I do, which is why some of these
are on the small side.

There is no CPU battery. Undoubtedly he means the CMOS battery on the
motherboard.
