    What you describe is exactly as it should happen. You are in the Recovery Console.

    Unfortunately, Microsoft has caused confusion in using the Word repair (and the letter R) for the Recovery Console.

    The first R takes you to the Recovery Console, the C:\ prompt where you can enter commands. If you want to perform a repair installation (warning: they do not work often!), you need to get to the point where there is a second the second R is what allows you to perform a repair installation.

  • "Hard drive" problems repair installation XP

    I have used "some critical XP boot file not found" error message on a backup computer (an early 1.1 MacBook which has 1 GB RAM) I have not used for a year or two and tried to repair the installation.  In the measure where that actually, I start with the CD, download the .flp SCSI file, by pressing FnF6 at the right time (which is not easy!) and exercise. There is one more step curious where install asks if you want to load a SCSI driver and when I said YES, he told me that he was loading the VMWare SCSI driver and operated.

    Unfortunately, it was where the problems began, because when it allows you to press R to repair the installation, install can still not find a hard drive.


    Anyone know what is happening please?


    Strangely, when I will to know and seek a. A VMDK file, spotlight can't find? I don't remember when I created initially XP if I did in bootcamp or directly through Fusion, but surely there should be a virtual machine somewhere? My installation has certainly appears as a guest in Fusion when I start it?  And when I go in the APPLICATION SUPPORT folder in the folder of the user on the hard drive, there is no record of VMWare Fusion.


    A bit worrying, when I first tried to fix this, I accidentally created a new virtual machine and installed XP in that, without realizing that I wasn't not repair installation on site.  All right, but just as he was about to do the installation, after copying all it's files from the CD etc etc and install from those files, it suddenly gives a mysterious cyclic redundancy error, claiming that there is a problem with the CD he uses is more.

    I would like to begin with the fact that the command bootcfg /rebuild but I would probably want to first look at the contents of the boot.ini file.

    BTW is that you have all the USER data on this Virtual Machine, then you should try to recover first in VMDKMounter.

  • Cannot activate XP Repair, installation ID does not work on the phone

    Hi all, I recently had to run a repair of Windows XP Edition family due to a driver issue and finally managed to return to the start screen and try to log in, but it wont let me connect you without activation (I suppose some confusion because it is installed on my computer for more than 30 days, but the repair made me have to reactivate).  So, I tried to start safe mode and was able to connect here in the version without networking.  Unfortunately, when I try to activate by phone (no network connection, the default ethernet driver was the cause of all this to start), the automated thing will not take the installation ID that is displayed in the activation page.  I know that I have a valid product key and the original disk, as I used it a year ago to re - install on a new hard drive, but I have no way to actually enter the product key!

    Assumptions on how I can try to work around this problem for long enough to activate online (I use a USB wireless, but the computer must be started in order to establish the connection), or why the crazy long installation ID does not work?

    Thank you very much
    Eric

    Hi EWool,

    • Have you tried to activate the normal mode?

    You cannot activate Windows XP safe mode and most of the drivers does not work in safe mode.

    I suggest that you contact the support of Microsoft telephone activation to reactivate Windows XP.

  • A lot of memory used after the repair Installation of Windows XP

    I recently put a new motherboard in my computer and it took that I re - install Windows XP.  I managed to re - install Windows XP with my previous settings still intact, but I noticed that he had a lot of memory used (~ 20 GB) which has not been used before the installation of my new motherboard.  I checked all the files that I had in 'My Computer', and the total memory was not adding up to what was planned to be used.

    During the Windows XP installation process, I chose the option to repair an existing Windows XP, in the hope that it would recover my previous settings.  I could continue until the activation of the installation part and had trouble with it; but was soon fixed.  I thought that if I continued to repair the existing Windows XP that it would remedy the activation part I had problems.  So all I can assume is that additional memory that has been used is from several times, I fixed my existing operating system due to the multiple copies of the same files that were used to repair.
    I contemplated I should save my computer, delete the partition, reformat the hard drive and install a fresh Windows XP or find a way to delete the files that take up a lot of place and who fail to find.  With the first option, I'd still have these files 'Phantom' on my backup, which in turn would be always present when I restore my backup the freshly installed Windows XP.
    I would like to know if I'm near a possible remedy to this situation, or y at - it another option I don't see who could solve this problem?

  • Trying to do a clean install of Vista 64 but only gives the repair installation option

    I think I got a virus and it got to the point that I can not go on my computer safe mode. I got my drive and put it in. Unfortunately he gave me the opportunity to do a repair install (which wouldn't help because the virus would still be on the computer) or reinstall windows, but if I did, he said he would keep my old files in a special folder, thus keeping the virus. I canceled the installation and restarted my computer to look over all the other options, but now it just goes to something automatic repair windows instead of the thing to install vista. Any help? I can post other info if necessary.

    Hello Locust103,

    Your PC is only blue screening after entering the windows environment, this Safe Mode or in Normal Mode. Reinstall works, initially, in the windows environment. In many cases, blue screens are attributed to hardware problems.

    If you look at the article that the link in my original post is to scroll down to step 15 in article. In the screenshot, you'll see a checked option "Drive Options (Advanced)." When you install windows and go to this step, if you click the Options to drive another series of option is displayed. example of Format. If you click the format option that your disc/partition will be wiped, everything on this drive/partition will be deleted. Once the disk has been formatted, you can continue to install a completely fresh copy if Windows on your system.

    The Windows installation will normally restart your PC twice or three times before finishing the installation.

  • Change language windows repair installation possible?

    I installed windows 7 Home Basic on a friends laptop with its windows OEM key, but my own image of windows 7 ultimate, set to ask for the version of windows before installation. but my windows is in English, and my friend would like to have his German (she didn't provide me with installation dvd, so I can't us with its original language).

    Since this is Home Basic, I cannot use a language pack and prefer not to use any 3rd third-party tool, which may be able to do (I also think that the tool mentioned in another thread on this topic just made for home premium and professional and not Basic).

    now, I also have a windows 7 dvd in German, what can I do to install Home Basic instead. My question is, would proceed with a repair install using this dvd of German home base to change the language from English to German, or what I need to completely reinstall windows from this dvd German in German?

    It's just a matter of time, since graduating from vanilla windows 7 SP1 + all updates is quite long, so install a repair would be preferable, if she was going to change the language.

    Thank you!

    Unfortunately, cross language upgrades are not taken in charge.

  • Repair installation fails on Windows 7 and get black screen

    I put in a repair disc and then I put in a disk to reboot and did he pulled upwards so that I had to do a reboot but got black screen saying something was not so tempted excessible to esc but used left me tried to restart again and it will not restart please help running windows7 64 bit

    This is usually caused by hardware or software that is not compatible with Windows 7. If you have this problem, follow these steps:

    Wait about 10 minutes to see if the installation continues. Look at the led on the hard drive (often a small light on your computer that blinks when your hard drive is running) to see if there is no activity. If your hard drive seems to be working, the installation must be current. If your hard disk doesn't seem to work, go to step 2.

    Uninstall all antivirus software, and then restart your computer. Don't forget to enable antivirus software after you install Windows.

    If the installation fails again, it may be a hardware incompatibility problem. Go to the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor on the Microsoft website to see if your computer can run Windows 7.

    If you have compatible hardware and your computer still stops responding, disable any unnecessary material. Remove (USB) universal serial bus devices. Remove or disable network cards, sound cards and cards of the series; and then restart the installation.
