Uh-oh.
My laptop recently blue screened me, then when I tried to reboot it said that system32/config/system was missing. I know a bit about computers, enough to know that this is bad.

I tried to re-install windows but during the CD booting up i received the message
"The file Ntkrnlmp.exe could not be loaded. The error code is 7. "

Is there anyway this can be fixed?
Any helpers would be worshipped.

Pick it up a bit
and then drop it.
It'll get you another 3 weeks.

If you have system restore turned on
try going back in time to the last known good restore point. If you recently (last week or so) made changes, like updating software, you might have a recent one.

If that fails, look up 'repair windows from boot disk' and you'll find a million tutorials.

Do what Gonz suggested below. Google is your friend.

Actually, this is true
Google is so under-rated as a PC technician

I've tried restoring the BIOS settings but to no avail,
It's a laptop so removing RAM would require someone with more knowledge than me.

I'm going to try to disable the ACPI when I get home, but as I don't have the internet there, I had to wait until I came into work to find out how.

Oh man, you're so screwed.
I suggest you consolidate all your debs into one easy afordable monthly repayment, quit uni and get a job.

Unless you rotate the humblecable ninety degrees and reinsert the chuffleram, I don't think you'll get past the drive interrogatatron.

I've already explained this before, but since you clearly weren't paying attention that time
(and lets face it, only someone as brilliant as me would have paid attention this much)

So here goes, the way to fix your laptop in seven easy steps:

No. 1: Get a Wife
No. 2: Get a Child
No. 3: Have an inability to pass an open (or indeed closed) recepticle containing an alcoholic beverage.
No. 4: Become highly qualified in looking at things and then get even more qualified in hitting things with spanners and overcharging old ladies
No. 5: Build your own house becuase you're so amazing.
No. 6: Be right on the internet all the time. Even when you're not on the internet.
No. 7: It's that slow time between christmas and new year, so better make it a quiet drink, just a half a pint of gin maybe, but put it in a normal tumbler so the wife doesn't realise what it is.

I don't see the point in bullying someone who isn't here.
