Error message: Error 997: Overlapped I/O operation is in progress http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=e...Search& meta= Boot off of a clean Windows XP cd ( your bios has to be set to boot from cd rom 1st ) choose Install ( Not To Repair a Windows XP installation using Recovery Console, press R ) at the first prompt. It will then search for a previous copy of Windows. When it finds your copy, it will stop at the next prompt and ask if you want to do a repair. Hit R at this screen. If it does'nt mention a repair DO NOT continue. It will then copy a lot of files and appear to be doing a reinstall ( But its not. All your programs and data are safe, all you will lose, are your Windows updates ) |
