Restore Windows XP by using the XP installation CD

[admin_papa]

Hello Everybody

Just wanted to share my new experience.

If your Windows XP fails to run due to an error related to missing HAL.DLL, invalid Boot.ini or any other critical system boot files you can repair this by using the XP installation CD. Just boot from your XP Setup CD and enter the Recovery Console. Then launch "attrib -H -R -S" on the C:\Boot.ini file and delete it. Run "Bootcfg /Rebuild" and then Fixboot

Regards,
Carl
