the system is not ready vs system is not ready

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. The phrase 'The system is not ready' includes the definite article 'the' before 'system,' which implies that a specific system is being referred to. On the other hand, 'System is not ready' is a more general statement about any system. The choice between the two depends on whether you are talking about a specific system or systems in general.
