So I copied disk.sys and partmgr.sys 5.2.3790.3959 to an XP 32 machine, the original MS disk.sys and partmgr.sys was 5.1.2600.5512. Instead of Disk Management MMC saying "MBR GPT protected", I now see all 16TB of this Seagate HD. The 16 TB drive was formatted to empty from a Win10 box with NTFS on eSATA. SMART says zero reallocated sectors. But, out of curiosity I ran XP 32 "chkdsk E: /r" on the 16 TB NTFS partition. I really want to be sure all 16 TB is addressable, and not magically loose data left and right months later. I am using a ICH9R southbridge Core 2 mobo. XP32 Chkdsk, is a disaster. C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>chkdsk E: /r The type of the file system is NTFS. CHKDSK is verifying files (stage 1 of 5)... File verification completed. CHKDSK is verifying indexes (stage 2 of 5)... Index verification completed. CHKDSK is verifying security descriptors (stage 3 of 5)... Security descriptor verification completed. CHKDSK is verifying file data (stage 4 of 5)... File data verification completed. CHKDSK is verifying free space (stage 5 of 5)... Free space verification is complete.

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator> Now I have 0 files on drive, and only ~550 GB free disk space. XP 32 chkdsk really did add 15.5 TB of bad clusters. Ironically the Intel Matrix Raid BIOS config screen says its a ~550 GB drive but I dont have the drive in a RAID config, this 16TB drive never will boot drive. Just extra NAS basically and the tower case has alot of room and is on 24/7. Has anyone else ever run XP 32 chkdsk on a > 2TB GPT drive before? Is chkdsk logic inside NTFS or some other driver? Are there more files to copy from Server 2003 32? Feels like a disaster to leave this GPT drive forever in an XP 32 box if user error, or my error running chkdsk wipes the data. I'll reboot into my Win10 rescue stick and format this drive again and run chkdsk from Win10. Reports are fuzzy online if ICH9 chipset or the Win32 Intel drivers for ICH9 handle > 2TB at all on any OS.

My mistake. I'm just not too familiar with XP. Did some trial and error, in XP, we only have recovery console, to get to XP's repair process is past the F8 button, as -X- said. Press R here and it starts XP's repair process which is different from 2000 in that its more of an outright reinstall/upgrade rather than a basic sanity check like the 2000 repair process. For comparison, here is Windows 2000, in the order of the screens. I answered my own question for the record.

Yes, its that short. Its an OEMBIOS cd, so thats almost the only reason for my winnt.sif, to add the product key (plus to install Fax). I want the CD to be maximum attended. I am a newbie at making cds so I might be making some big mistake I'm not sure if XP is supposed to have the emergency repair process in the first place or not. According to Google it exists in XP. I'm more experienced with 2K.

Where is the emergency repair process? Booting off the CD with "press any key to continue" bootloader simply gives me only the option of the emergency repair console once I reach the first text mode screen.
