Hi,
In my laptop with Win XP Home as the OS, recently it has started giving OS load errors...
It would first state that previous shutdown was not normal and so select the standard options (Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Cmd prompt, ..., Last known Working configuration, etc.).
If I select the Last Known Working configuration, it next states System.ini is corrupted - Press "r" to repair. But pressing "r" doesn't help but it just hangs -- no further action seen even 30+ minutes after pressing r.
If I select Safe Mode, it start listing out the files that gets loaded and when it reaches system.ini, it states that it's corrupted and hangs..
How can I fix this issue and get the OS load properly?
reinstall windows dont repair
Well, Ashish -- As I had mentioned, even the Last Known Good configuration doesn't help here as it still hangs...
Cyborg -- When you state reinstall WinXP, how about the data on my HDD -- would it all be lost in that case? (since I had only one partition in it).
K first scan your HDD for errors and repair them; boot your machine into Command Prompt Only and then run CHKDSK /F on the boot Volume
Typically this should solve this issue but in case the issue still persists U'll have to repair the registry hives ...try the HDD repair and let us know the result ....
reinstalling will not affect your data
reinstall will delete the files in ur documents folder.
reinstall the windows xp.
if you have a back up then why dont you try replacing the system.ini file ???
My msgina.dll or something like that was corrupted and I had to replace the shell32.dll after booting using the Dynebolic 1.1 Linux CD that came with Digit December issue...
Well this is what you need to do then :
Boot your system with the Windows XP/2000 Install CD, let the system start the Setup. Once in the Setup, choose to run the Recovery Console.
Now type the following commands pressing Enter after each line.
ren C:\windows\system32\config\system system.old
copy C:\windows\repair\system C:\windows\system32\config\system
Try to boot the system, if it doesn't start, get back into the Recovery Console and enter the following commands.
delete C:\windows\system32\config\system
ren C:\windows\system32\config\system.old system
If you don't have an XP/2000 CD with the Recovery Console on it, you can try removing your hard drive and connecting it your friend's system or installing another Windows system in a different directory. Then you can access the \Windows\System32\Config folder. Copy the files System to a safe location. Then go to the \Windows\Repair folder. Those five files are your orginal registry files created when XP/2000 was first installed. Copy the file System from the \Repair folder and paste it into the \Config folder.
Try to boot your system.
