Re: repair

 

some issues with booting

can be resolved simply by

using a couple of commands

at the disk prompt.

 

by using your windows

cd and logging into the

recovery console you

can run:

 

chkdsk

fixboot

 

then type/enter

 

exit

 

and retry booting

without the cd.

Hello John,

 

Thanks for the post as well as to Terry for the information sharing.

 

To perform a reinstallation of Windows XP, please do as follows:

Configure your computer to start from the CD-ROM drive. For more

information about how to do this, refer to your computer's documentation or

contact your computer manufacturer. Then insert your Windows XP Setup CD,

and restart your computer.

1. When the Press any key to boot from CD message is displayed on your

screen, press a key to start your computer from the Windows XP CD.

2. Press ENTER when you see the message To setup Windows XP now, and then

press ENTER displayed on the Welcome to Setup screen.

3. Do not choose the option to press R to use the Recovery Console.

4. In the Windows XP Licensing Agreement, press F8 to agree to the license

agreement.

the box, and then press R to repair Windows XP.
