System Repair
When doing a system repair using the repair disk you
create either at install time or later after applications have been installed, will the system be repaired to the state it was at at the time the repair disk was created eg. with applications installed, or will it repair back to a basic level such as it would be at install time? |

System Repair
Hello Gazza
Maybe I am not understanding you correctly, but you do a repair from your original XP disk that you used to install XP to start with. Repair The Windows XP Installation Configure your computer to start from the CD-ROM drive. For more information about how to do this, please refer to your computer's documentation or contact your computer manufacturer. Insert your Windows XP compact disc (CD) into your CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive, and then restart your computer. (You can also boot with a Windows 98/Me Startup disk with CD support and run WINNT.EXE in the I386 folder on the CD) When the "Press any key to boot from CD" message is displayed on your screen, press a key to start your computer from the Windows XP CD. When you see the following message displayed on the Welcome to Setup screen, press ENTER: To setup Windows XP now, press ENTER. At this point an option to press R to enter the Recovery Console is displayed. Do not select this option. On the Windows XP Licensing Agreement screen, press F8 to agree to the license agreement. Make sure that your current installation of Windows XP (in your case, the one you wish to repair) is selected in the box, and then press the R key to repair Windows XP. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete Setup. -- Hope this helps Haus |

You might want to consult whatever documentation that came with whatever program you have that creates these "system repair" disks. This isn't a Windows function, unless you've got the name wrong. |
