You can't repair a windows with an unattended disc (even with winnt.sif tweaked) ! it's main rule ! You should use an normal disc and Repair can be run.

I C , I think the chance of repairing still from inside windows by (Upgrading) of course if I have Corp or Retail version of XPSP2

which definitly a small % in which that corrupted windows still boot to do the repair from inside

I meant the Repair option can be done by another way, Upgrade Install from already installed windows

From the sounds of it, i don't think he can get into windows...

also, boot into the recover console, and make sure it finds your copy of windows...ie, it should give you a list of all the copies of windows it finds and ask you to choose between then, and then it will ask you for the ADMIN password...

if that DOESN'T happen, then your MBR is corrupted and you need to do some messing around to get it working...

if you need help, you can PM me, i've had to do that before...

Just make another XP CD using your existing uA CD, but replace winnt.sif with a blank one.

I know there must be some way to do it. The XP cd that ships with most newer Dell Dimension desktops works like a regular cd, with Repair and Recovery console options, while still containing a winnt.sif file.

Can you post winnt.sif file from that disk? I want also the repair option.
