Restore Windows XP by using the XP installation CD

[_tech_guru_papa_]

Hi Folks!

Just wanted to share my new experience.

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

Cheers,
Carl
