What windows install I connect?

I can't enter 1 or 2 commands installation C:\WINDOWS or C:\WINDOWSC... I am typing the wrong orders? I can't restart or recover with my boot drive under... I have a hp pavilion ze4900 (don't laugh) its old, I just replaced the 1 GB memory too... It was running great until last week.

Hi, Caroline.

  1. Enter the Windows XP Recovery Console. The Recovery Console is an advanced Windows XP with special tools diagnostic mode that allows you to restore the boot.ini file.

  2. When you reach the command line (as detailed in step 6 in the link above), type the following command , and then press enter.

    bootcfg /rebuild

  3. The bootcfg utility will scan your hard drives for all Windows XP installation, and then view the results. Follow the remaining steps to add your Windows XP installation in the boot.ini file.

  4. The first will ask installation to add to the startup list? (Yes/no/all).

    Type o in response to this question, and press enter.

  5. The next prompt will ask you to enter load identifier:.

    Is the name of the operating system. For example, type Windows XP Professional or Windows XP Home Edition , and press enter.

  6. The final will be asked to Enter OS load options:.

    Type fastdetect/fastdetect/fastdetect here and press enter.

  7. Remove the Windows XP CD, type exit , and then press enter to restart your PC.

    Assuming that a missing or damaged boot.ini file was your only problem, Windows XP should now start normally.

    Hi Billy,

    Try a clean boot (Vista and W7) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135. If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem. Follow the procedures described in the article. Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall. Once don't forget to reset your system back to the normal state, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work. If you are using XP, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353 and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316434.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
