Default System32/confog/system is missing

So I don't turn my computer off that often but when I did it gave me this message on startup:

"Windows could not start because "windows/system32/config/system" is either corrupt or missing"

I put the original window XP disk in and ran the repair console but I just got command prompts and didn't get anywhere. Please help!

When I go to the repair section on the windXP disk it does not ask for my admin password, why not?

The winxp cd doesnt require any passwords, it is just used for installing and repairing
