Repair XP Installation Using Recovery Console
Filed Under (Notebook Operating System, Notebook Tip) by Mohd Fauzi A Rahman on 24-06-2008
If you are using Windows XP, you might be aware of the option “Repair Windows XP Using Recovery Console” at the setup of your Windows XP installation.
This is one of the most undertilised options that is being used by users when there is a crash in the Windows XP operating system.
I recently encountered this issue with my clients laptop as his laptop keeps on restarting.
When that happen, the only idea i will get is the boot up file (Boot.ini) is corrupted.
Normally the easiest way out is to use the “Automatic Repair” function, but in this case that option is unavailable on my client’s laptop.
Another way out is to “F” (which means format) the hard drive of the laptop but think about the valuable data you are going to erase
.
Hence, I’m giving my shot using the “old-school” command prompt style which is the Recovery Console”.

Press R on your keyboard to enter the Recovery Console.
