XP Repair install

1. Boot the computer using the XP CD. You may need to change the boot order in the system BIOS so the CD boots before the hard drive. Check your system documentation for steps to access the BIOS and change the boot order.
2. When you see the "Welcome To Setup" screen, you will see the options below

This portion of the Setup program prepares Microsoft
Windows XP to run on your computer:

To setup Windows XP now, press ENTER.

To repair a Windows XP installation using Recovery Console, press R.

To quit Setup without installing Windows XP, press F3.
3. Press Enter to start the Windows Setup.

To setup Windows XP now and Repair Install , press ENTER. do not choose "To repair a Windows XP installation using the Recovery Console, press R", (you Do Not want to load Recovery Console). I repeat, do not choose "To repair a Windows XP installation using the Recovery Console, press R".
4. Accept the License Agreement and Windows will search for existing Windows installations.
5. Select the XP installation you want to repair from the list and press R to start the repair. If Repair is not one of the options, END setup. After the reboot read
6. Setup will copy the necessary files to the hard drive and reboot. Do not press any key to boot from CD when the message appears. Setup will continue as if it were doing a clean install, but your applications and settings will remain intact.

Alright well you *should* be able to install WITHOUT reformatting over the existing install, but I can't say for sure.

Also try downloading and burning a n install CD of UBUNTU linux. Then go through installation till you get to the partitioner and hack off 5 gigs of free space at the end of your drive and format them. Now stop the instalation and put a new copy of windows on those free 5GB and you are free to save your files, then do a proper reinstall.

OR if you know a bit about computers hook your hardrive up to another computer and then pull the files off, then reisntall

I always make sure I am ready to reformat at any time. Thats the price I pay for
1. Building my own computers and voiding warranty,
2. Overclocking all my parts constantly
3. Running with absolutely no virus protection :)
