    I have an industrial PC which was running windows XP and has failed with a
    windows/system32/config/system corrupt Error message

    I want to create a bootable usb to examine the file system and see what went wrong.....whats the easiest way to do this?

    Have you tried last known good option?
    Its probably a bad sector on disk. That file is part of Windows registry.
    Check your BIOS to see if it supports USB boot, it may not.
    Tools to make bootable USB include Rufus, Unetbootin and YUMI (from Linux ISOs)

    I'd connect the disk to another PC and errorcheck it first
