| 158316 | 2003-07-09 00:24:00 | What is your operating system? What is this boot screen? Is it a bootloader or a skin to change how the login looks? More details on what you were trying to do would help, including what it was? |

| 158317 | 2003-07-09 09:38:00 | It is THE booting .exe file that I changed. The ntoskln.exe (or somthing like that). I have my Windows XP Pro cd with me know, so wot can I do? | JamesStewart (874) | ||
| 158318 | 2003-07-09 09:42:00 | I do not want to install anything else onto my computer, i just want to fix it! Chilling, how do I use the Repair Console? and wot do I do? One thing, I am using Service Pack 1, so if I can/did repair the .exe file off the CD, it would be wrong any way... because XP isn't SP1.... | JamesStewart (874) | ||
| 158319 | 2003-07-09 11:41:00 | Hopefully the file should copy fine. Maybe it won't notice the diferences in versions. Most likely that exe file wasn't even updated with SP1? If the recovery console works like command line function inside windows I guess you could find the file on the cd and copy it to your C: drive . Thats asuming that the file isn't compressed - in which case it might be rather difficult. Just to a full repair, and reinstall SP1, after the repair. Just click enter to set up windows when prompted, and it will search for an existing windows install and ask if you would like to repair. |

| 158320 | 2003-07-09 23:02:00 | Ahh. Dead easy there: Begin install like you normally would.. past that ugly blue screen... and it'll give you the option of Repair or Install. Its here that I normally choose install, and it carries on and searches for previous installs, so let it and it will find your old WindowsXP setup... Now, it'll ask you if rather than over-write it or something similar, would you like to repair it, select yes :-) Just follow your nose and you should be fine, read the instructions carefully and you cant go wrong :-) |
