jaclaz Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 You'll probably need to make a Repair install:http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htmjaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamoun Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 (edited) I left the repair install to be the last solution, as It's so important to me not to lose any data..Is there a certain auto-bootable software that I can burn to a Cd, and fixes windows problems?btw, my computer manufacture is HP..

pmshah Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I have done a few repair installs & haven't lost any data nor even the settings. Your best bet would be to boot with BartPE cd & connect a sufficiently large pendrive to retrieve your data.If you are truing to save your programms repair install is the only way to go.

HyperHacker Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 I think the repair install from an HP disc would wipe everything. I had one a few years ago and all it did was wipe the disk and copy everything back from the install CDs.If you have or can get an actual Windows XP disc, then the repair install should do it without wiping out whatever's there.

Mamoun Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share Posted July 4, 2006 (edited) Oh my! it's getting worse and worse After trying to do every type of repairing using win xp cd, by repair console or Auto repairing system, nothing is fixed, The computer now doesn't even load windows it just says operating system error.. And I tried Formating the whole drive, but it just says"drive C is corrupted or damaged" Looks like I need a new disk drive @InViSibLe Gr: I just did that and still hangs, now it doesn't even show me this list..Thanks for replies Edited July 4, 2006 by Mamoun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
