Hi,
Do a repair installation, there is no need to delete anything. Follow these
steps to do a repair install which should preserve your data, settings, and
programs:
1. Insert the Windows XP CD into your computer's CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM
drive.
2. Restart your computer. If you have to, change the BIOS settings to start
from
the CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive, and then restart your computer again.
3. At the "Welcome to Setup" page, press ENTER.
4. Press F8 to accept the Licensing Agreement.
5. Use the arrow keys to select the installation of Windows XP that you want
to
repair, and then press R to start the automatic repair process.
6. When Setup is completed, activate Windows XP.
Note that you will need your Product Key for this procedure, so have it
handy before you begin.

January 29th 04, 03:02 PM
I got much further by using my Windows XP Pro CD instead of my Mom's. But I
will need to know how to activate.
Background:
When my mother's computer got a corrupt Outlook, we decided to upgrade her
Windows. I first copied her C: to D:, and then I installed XP on C:. This
worked fine. I also installed it to D:, found that it worked - kind of - but
pointed to stuff on C:. I told myself I would either delete D: or fix it, but
never got around to either.
A year later, my Mother turned on her computer, and it started booting but got
an 0000051 registry error and produced a dump. I went through procedures to
get an older registry but nothing worked. I tried to boot to D: and that DID
work, but she doesn't have virus protection there, her Outlook won't load
correctly, her OE can read but not otherwise access her addresses (and aborts
when closed), and we can't install anything new. I tried to figure out how to
change its registry to point to D:, but failed.
I booted to her CD and tried various ways (fix and install) to install Windows
to C:. Whenever it checked to see if an earlier version of Windows existed, it
got the 000051 registry abort and dump. I never got to the format menu. I
booted to D: and tried to install to C:. Same thing.
Yesterday I took my CD over and booted to it. I was able to get past the
problem with her CD. My CD is older than hers. I selected the Repair
install, and had to press OK a bunch of times while it was trying to register
stuff "UNREGMP2.EXE - ENTRY POINT NOT FOUND: The procedure entry point GETIUMS
could not be located in the dynamic link library MSDART.DLL. I finished the
installation and it came up with the desktop that used to be on D:, not the
desktop that used to be on C:. I renamed the D: menu selection back to Old,
and it now says:
[boot loader]
timeout=5
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Old Microsoft Windows XP
Professional" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional"
/fastdetect
C:\CMDCONS\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows Recovery Console" /cmdcons
Now, Outlook still wants me to set up MAIL from the control panel (Mail and Fax
looks good to me there), and won't open into anything except what looks like the
Windows Explorer. But Outlook Express is working correctly. I can install
software, but every time I try to install Norton AntiVirus, it almost completes
before rolling back. I need to run Spybot, as there is a spyware, but I ran
out of time and went home.
The odd thing is that when I try to boot to D:, I get the 000051 registry abort
and dump. Weird.
I did not activate Windows, as I need to find out how to contact MicroSoft to
figure out how to handle the fact that her CD didn't install correctly so I had
to use my CD and code.
I suppose I should install with a format of C: first, now that I can install at
all. Maybe that will clear out the last problems for C:.
Also - where are the dumps so that I can delete them?
