As Windows XP recover

Reading time: less than 1 minute

I am thinking now post some computer tips, at the same time reminded of a problem I had a while ago, my computer was showing errors in booting Windows XP, What did I do? Reformatei! (silliness, I lost everything) Very shortly after I discovered I had a solution, recover or Windows XP! Now I will pass on the information, after all I think everyone may one day need it.

For this you will need:

1 – Computer faulty at startup, it can display boot errors, blue screens (blue screens), continuous reboot, among others.
2 – CD do Windows XP (original or not)

Recovery Mode:

1 – Insert the Windows XP CD into the drive and start the computer (turn on the computer again) and choose the boot options (usually by pressing F12) the CD-ROM option.
2 – When the CD-ROM system stops on the next screen press R to recover.

3 – Follow the onscreen instructions to recover the Windows XP partition that has problems. In the following screen will appear all operating systems that are available. If you have just installed XP he will say: 1- C:Windows
type it 1 to recover the unit 1 and enter your computer's administrator password.
4 – To recover I use the command BOOTCFG /REBUILD. This command makes the recreation of booting Windows XP.
5 – At the end the following message appears:

blah blah blah
Total identified Windows Installs: 1
[1]: C:Winnt
Add installation to boot list? (Yes, No, All):

type N.

Below are a few commands you can use to recover your drive. (I'm not responsible for any change or alteration in the data content from your computer, this is just a Guideline).

  5. Way, I did everything certim, the way u talk, I put BOOTCFG / REBUILD, there says he has failed to examine that, this error can be caused by a corrupted system file, and then asks to use the CHKDSK function to detect the error, so that, when using this function says that the volume seems to contain one or more unrecoverable problems. to disisperado, what I do now to recover these more than important files, as are my work files, me a please LIGHT… thanks in advance… anything add me on msn luis.btos@hotmail.com , for God's sake help me !!!
