Hi
Have you got an OEM XP CD? If so, a lot of them won't offer the 'Repair' option, only a 'Clean' install. Have a look through the documentation that came with the CD, you may some help there. -- Will Denny MS-MVP Windows Shell/User Please reply to the News Groups "! Anong" wrote in message ... I'm installing a new motherboard and booted with my XP 1a service pack CD and wanted to do a repair to replace the drivers but there is no repair option. Setup only allows for a fresh install. In other words, Setup fails to find either of my XP installations (c and d drive) and offer me teh chance to repair What's wrong? |

Am hesitant about this - however having done several repairs in the past I
seem to recall that the repair option is not offered until one or two screens after setup begins. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AL(KB3U) & Darlene Romanosky N.

Is the drive correctly detected? If it has incorrect parameters to that of the original install it may not be seen correctly. |

Yes I believe that is correct. You just start the setup and at some point
the option to repair an installation comes up. If it don't just go to the last step before you format a partition then quit. -- George Hester _______________________________ "Al Romanosky" wrote in message ...

Probably because your system time is incorrect.

Post dating is incredibly rude and many people, myself included, will not respond to post daters except to tell them to fix their clock, calendar and/or time zone. You are in Singapore (GMT+0800), yet your time zone is set to US Mountain Time (GMT-0700). And before you say anything, the reader's server automatically adjusts the time for their own time zone and it certainly isn't 10:03 tomorrow morning here in the UK! Fix it and you might receive a more helpful response from me. Otherwise, you'll just end up killfiled. |

Boot the CD. Select the option to Install Windows. Press F8 to accept the
License Agreement. The installer will look for a previous version of XP. If one is found you have the option to Try to repair by pressing 'R'. If none is found then the install moves to the partitioning screen. -- Harry Ohrn MS-MVP [Shell/User] www.webtree.ca/windowsxp "! Anong" wrote in message ...

While she may have been to strong in her approach, you are as well putting
yourself in the same group as her. In any event date time incorrectly set can cause a multitude of issues and is a major cause of problems so it should be corrected. It is not the cause of the issue in this thread, but it may be the cause of other issues particularly but not limited to security issues. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar http://www.dts-l.org "QT" wrote in message ...

That "I put my self in the same group as her" is ridiculous. Put some
thought into your next opinion. "Jupiter Jones [MVP]" wrote in message ... While she may have been to strong in her approach, you are as well putting yourself in the same group as her.

Not ridiculous since you responded rudely to her.
Perhaps you should not tell others how to behave when you behave similarly. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar http://www.dts-l.org "PLL" wrote in message ... That "I put my self in the same group as her" is ridiculous. Put some thought into your next opinion. |
