| 1250561 | 2011-12-25 04:43:00 | Done it Via the i386 folder doing a repair install, and that works fine, but I actually done it Via command prompt. Never tried a full fresh install though. | wainuitech (129) | ||

| 1250563 | 2011-12-25 05:27:00 | The repair Install I have done several times was via safe mode /command prompt. The reason I used the existing i386 folder on the PC was I didn't have a windows CD that would taek the product key, ( name brand PC's and XP Pro) Heres How: Reboot the PC in Safe Mode with command Prompt ,You should then have something like C: documents and settings\your name\ Type in CD C:\I386 <Enter> Type in winnt32.exe <Enter> Agree to anything, this should then reinstall windows as doing a repair install. Creating an actual bootable CD from scratch is a different matter, as the exe file and associated required files will not autorun like normal windows CD. Apparently it can be done though -- I found This article (www.ehow.com) a while back, but have never tried it, so no idea if it actually works or not. |
