Black screen after fixbbot fixmdr on recovery console.

[Guest scdev]

Hi,

I was recovering my winxp installation and trying to resolve an hangup

problem (35 minute remaining hangup) i made an error. From recovery

console (WinXp BootCD -> R) i tryied FixBoot and FixMdr command.

After that i can't go on.

With or without Boot CD system stop on a black screen where i can see

only mouse arrow.

If i try to restart all recovery process (Boot with cd >

Enter>F8>R>Enter) the problem still exist.

After first reboot (at blue screen procedures) all stop in a black

screen after winxp logo startup.

Can you help me? I can't solve with a format because is not possible

for this moment.

Thankyou.

You may have to boot your machine with your WinXP installation

CD and perform a repair installation. Do you have backups of all

your important files, including your EMail files? Why is a format not

possible at this moment?

Because i have to reinstall too much program for start to work and i

can't do that in this days.

I gave to restart with work tomorrow. There are no way to solve this

problem.

 

If i try to perform a repair installation i follow all the steps in

the blu screen but after reboot and after winxp logo (before loading

installation graphic interface) it hangup in a black screen whee i can

see only mouse arrow. There are no mothod to solte this lock?

Before when i start my work i could saw installation graphic interface

but now i can't i have done only FixMdr and FixBoot.

In situations where a high availability of a PC is required, appropriate

precautions must be taken in advance, e.g.

- Provide access to a backup PC

- Use an imaging program such as Acronis TrueImage so that you

can restore a failed installation in less than 30 minutes.

 

If you haven't taken any of these precautions then you could try

one of these methods:

- Press F8 during the early boot phase, then select "Last known good

configuration"

- Perform a manual System Restore (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545)

This don't work.

I can't perform manualy this because i have not c:\windows\repair

\system file.

So i think there are no way to solve my situation.

I would like only return to previous state befaure fixboot and fixmdr

is possible that there are no way to undo this actions?

Thankyou anyway

The commands fixboot and fixmbr will only affect the boot

behaviour of Windows. They have no effect on the rest of

the installation. Since Windows does start on your machine,

I suspect that the problem is caused by something else, e.g.

by a damaged registry. You can repair it using the method

I gave you in my previous reply but you must read the whole

article. Using the registry kept in the Repair folder is only the

first step. There are other copies, e.g. this one:

C:\System Volume

Information\_restore{D86480E3-73EF-47BC-A0EB-A81BE6EE3ED8}\RP1\Snapshot

The process to retrieve it is described in detail in that article.

 

Machines that have a damaged boot environment but an intact

Windows installation can be booted with a WinXP boot disk

or boot CD. Here is how to make such a disk:

- Format a floppy disk on a WinXP PC.

- Copy these files from the i386 folder of the WinXP installation

CD to A:\

ntldr

ntdetect.com

- Create a file a:\boot.ini with these lines inside:

[boot loader]

timeout=5

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS

[operating systems]

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP

Professional" /fastdetect /noexecute=optin

In the maintime i tryied another way. Ihave installed another instance

of winxp in teh second partition. (D:\) From second installation i

have copyied

all registry settin from C:\System Volume Information

\_restore{D86480E3-73EF-47BC-A0EB-A81BE6EE3ED8}\RP1\Snapshot to c:

\windows\system32\config (renaming it) now there is a litle change.

Screen is still black bat arrow is changed. I see that the definition

is the standard definition but nothing more. screen is still black.

Thankyou.
