Use one of the following methods to restore a missing or corrupted file: If the Windows Operating System is installed on a FAT partition, copy the initialization file to the %SystemRoot%\System32 directory.If Windows NT 3.51 or 4.0 is installed on an NTFS partition, reinstall Windows NT to a
separate directory. Log on as the same user with the same permissions and
