XP Repair Install
-
Version
1.0
There are times when Windows XP becomes so corrupted
it won't run correctly or wont start at all and it
seems that the only solution is to format and
reinstall losing all data and programs. But doing so
isnt always necessary as there is a way to perform a
repair install without losing any data. One of the
best kept secrets of Windows XP is it's built in
repair feature and I have written a step by step
manual making it possible for anyone to repair their
installation.
In previous versions of Windows, correcting an
operating system error usually meant formatting and
reinstalling, resulting in loss of all your data.
Windows XP repair feature won't delete your data,
installed programs, personal information, or settings.
It just repairs the operating system.
The system repair function will remove any updates you
have previously installed that are not included on the
CD. When finished, you may have to download all of the
updates from Microsoft Windows Update, because they
are all replaced during repair. It may be necessary
to reactivate your Windows XP as well.
Why would I want to reinstall Windows XP?
1) Can't start Windows XP in safe mode or start it at
all.
2) You have problems caused by a recently installed
system update (Windows Update, hot fix, Windows XP
service pack, or Microsoft Internet Explorer update).
3) Your problems can't be solved with system restore,
or you can't access system restore.
4) You have a Virus or Trojan that has infected
critical Windows files.
