| 695784 | 2008-08-08 00:10:00 | Hi all, When I rebooted my XP SP2 system this morning I got as far as a boot-screen error message about a file called 'system' being corrupt. The recommendation was to boot to the recovery console with the XP installer CD. When I got to the recovery console I didn't have the foggiest idea how to implement a repair of 'system'. Fortunately I was able to lift a copy of 'system' from a Ghost, and using another computer, replaced the corrupted one and all was ok again. But the recovery console remains a mystery to me and I would like to learn how to do such a replacement using the console. Any tips welcome, or pointers on where I might find a walk-through gratefully received. Many thanks! |

| 695786 | 2008-08-08 00:58:00 | Of course, I accept that. But a quick step by step for that particular problem can often be more helpful about process than wading through a large bunch of words. No matter. I'll ask elsewhere. | braindead (1685) | ||

| 695788 | 2008-08-08 01:28:00 | No worries SG. After looking around, I see that the recovery console is not given to easy step-by-step instructions :) The method I used, using 2 PCs, is quick and works fine. |
