Notice below the messages that appear and proper responses when a bootable XP installation CD (or a hand made Recovery Console CD) is applied to a system. Is this what you see? One does not "install" the Recovery Console by booting on an XP installation CD. If there is any doubt about your having an bootable XP installation CD, make a bootable Recovery Console CD yourself and there will be no question. You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burning it to a CD. The bootable ISO image file you need to download is called: xp_rec_con.iso Download the ISO file from he http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig Use this free and easy program to create your bootable CD: http://www.imgburn.com/ It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on the computer that is working. You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD ROM drive as the first boot device instead of the hard disk. These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load. If you miss it, you will have to reboot the system again. When you boot on the CD, follow the prompts: Press any key to boot from CD... The Windows Setup... will proceed. Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console. Select the installation you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS) You may be asked to enter the Administrator password (usually empty). You should be in the C:\WINDOWS folder. This is the same as the C:\WINDOWS folder you see in explorer. RC allows basic file commands - copy, rename, replace, delete, cd, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, etc. From the command prompt window run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to repair any problems on the afflicted drive. Running chkdsk is fine to run even if it doesn't find any problems. Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command: chkdsk C: /r Let chkdsk finish and correct any problems it might find. It may take a long time to complete or appear to be 'stuck'. Be patient. If the HDD light is still flashing, it is doing something. Keep an eye on the percentage amount to be sure it is still making progress. Remove the CD and type 'exit' to leave the RC and restart the computer. You do not have to adjust the BIOS again to boot on the HDD since the CD will not be present. |
