Help with error message..missing file

I am trying to do a full recovery on my pc. I run Windows Xp. It loads to the
full recovery and then before it gets to the menu(for full destruction) it
comes up with a blue screen that says can't load file \system
root\system32\config\security
because its corrupt , absent, or not writable. Windows starts up fine and
goes to desktop fine it just won't allow me to run recovery. I looked in
system folders and that file is there so I don't know how to fix it so I can
do a full recovery . and help would be appreciated. Thank you
