Can I do a restore of the system from a different partition than the one that I logged on?

Win XP refuses to restart, and I accidentally installed a new iteration of the Windows XP Home Edition on another partition of my drive hard (e). Now I can not remove this folder, cannot restore to a point located before the problem with the operating system on C:, it drives me crazy - I spent 3 days to repair the file boot.ini. do fixmbr, etc etc.  Nothing works.  I'm totally watered or is there a chance someone knows how I can get a restore point for the operating system on C:, when I can connect just the new facility on E:?  I'll be happy offer of bribes--pb

Hi peebee213W,

System Restore can only be used when in the operating system Windows XP of the partition that you want to use the system restore on. You can try to use the commands that are available to restore the initial installation of Windows XP using the Recovery Console.

    As the video card is not configurable, you need top line model for the nVidia card.

    Even if you do not find the card separately, it is pretty close to the best that you can get these days - and portable at the tip cards can easily cost $ 1 000-1 500 just by themselves, so you would not probably save at the same time.

  • I recently had to have my rebuilt computer caused by a virus. Now I have Mozilla Firefox with ABP and noticed that Mozilla has a built-in phishing and virus program. Do I need another antivirus program and if so, the one that works best with Firefox?

    I recently had to have my rebuilt computer caused by a virus. Now I have Mozilla Firefox with ABP and see that Firefox has a program's built-in phishing and viruses. Do I need a program additional anti-malware? If so, the one that works best with Firefox? Seems put more you on these things the you have more trouble.

    The anti-phishing protection and malware that Firefox uses checks against a list of websites that have been reported to contain a form of malware and then alerts you. Firefox itself does not scan files to see if they contain viruses/malware. You still need a form any anti-virus and anti-malware protection. You must also use a firewall.

    As for which is better, you are likely to get many different answers, it's a topic that generates a lot of discussion. A product one person loves will be hated by someone else. I use Microsoft Security Essentials as well as Windows Firewall.

  • Can't update or restore? The shadow copy of volume? problem

    The last time I could work happily without errors was right until I downloaded IE9.  I have a x32bit. Dell PC and have Windows Vista Home Basic.  I can't do updates longer without error codes (80040154) as well as since I bought it, for some reason, I've never been able to use the system restore it always comes back with the unfinished system restore.  I'll try to run now just to see what error message is.since I did not note.  Can make backups, I noticed just recently, but did not have one yet.

    The problem that I continue to have is that I get an error message stating "the Volume Shadow Copy used by the system restore does not work.  See the event log for more information. (0x81000202). "I think that my system is unstable.  I no longer, since IE is unusable since October last I now use Google chrome or Mozilla Firefox.  A factory re install easier than anything else.  Please advise I have tried several times to follow the instructions given by others and it never works.

    Asked for a 3-4 years old Dell would be of any effect to all the factory re - install?  Which means it would be easier to fix the problem otherwise.  In any case, please advise as soon as POSSIBLE to let it just the way it is if you think I don't no need for updates, etc.  I use the PC for research and e-mail.  Not much.  Long-term I can't help him.  I never know if I have given you enough information. Thank you so so much.

  • Is there an external link to use to restore Windows XP Home to original values? I can only use safe mode at the moment that my computer shuts down automatically (with blue screen)

    Running Windows XP home SP3. eMachines T6528 AMD Athlon 64 3500 + processor, nvidia GeForce 6100 GPU
    I downloaded and executed a double file Finder and SEVERAL files deleted by mistake.

    According to these instructions, you are not supposed to do that! Look at them again. They are on p. 137 (or p. 145). (P. 137, printed on the bottom or the p. 145 of the .pdf file!)

    Remove all the drives and physically disconnect all USB and network connections first!

    Then either start as you normally would (if you can) and select:

    Start | All programs | System recovery | System recovery

    and then click Yes.

    Or if you are unable to start up as usual, you will need to press F11 at the beginning - almost immediately after the ignition of the PC.

    THEN, when you are prompted to, you can insert the disc. :-)
