I have this login/logoff problem where whenver I log in, it just loggs back off. So I found this site has a solution that uses the xp recovery cd:when i use the copy command, windows tells me "The system cannot find the file specified" So what do I do. Can I somehow copy the files from the windows xp cd to my hard drive, then use the copy command.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to do some stuff from the recovery console for a Windows XP Home laptop that is in a boot-bsod-boot loop. However, when I go into the consol I do not get the C:Windows> directory as normal. Just C:. Whats the proper command to enter this directory.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI came back later, turned it on, and BAM! I ended up with a blue screen whining about not being able to load a registry hive, C:WindowsSystem32ConfigSOFTWARE in particular.So I google searched on my brothers machine for a way to fix it, which pretty much involved loading up 6 annoying Win XP boot floppies that takes days to load (Ok i'm exagerating a little there....) and getting into the Recovery Console to perform some copy/delete commands to get myself back to previous registry files.
Which to my dismay, I found out that it took me back to the stone age (like when XP was first installed, infact to me it seemded like it had gone back even further).
Is there some place that I can search to see if windows files/commands are legitimate? I have Zone Alarm and it has programs on it trying to access the Internet that I do not recognize. Another one was: Microsoft Out of Bounds. I have Windows XP Home Edition with all updates.I have ZoneAlarm free and McAffee AntiVirus.Nothing has been detected.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am looking to buy a laptop that I am told does not come with a restore disk. I would like to have a disk available so that if I want to reinstall windows at some later date, I can. I have Norton Ghost. If when I buy this computer, I use Norton Ghost to image the drive, will that provide me with a bootable restore disk so that if my whole windows install gets corrupted or virus-laden, I can restore it to the way I got it?

View 7 Replies View RelatedHoping to avoid a full reinstall of Windows XP, I'd like to try some repair procedures. The problem is, when I launch my "Vaio PCV-RS430G" recovery disc it goes straight to Sony's proprietary recovery interface which provides ONLY the preset option to wipe my 'c' drive and reinstall Windows. According to some MS articles I've read, an XP recovery disc should allow me to access the Windows Recovery Console (by typing "R" at the welcome screen). Can anyone suggest how I can bypass the Sony recovery and get to the Windows Recovery Console?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI did an AVG Rootkit scan which turned up "c:windows/system32/userinit.exe" as a dodgy file. I removed it and now the machine won't login when I boot the system. With a bit more digging it seems that this file was actually the login information within the registry and as it can't find a valid user/password it just keeps asking me click the user name and login. When I click it just loops back and throws back up the window, asking me to click the user name again.How I can access the registry and reset the userinit.exe file?I've tried selecting "last good configuration" which didn't work.I also tried to download Bart PE on another machine (running Vista) to set up a boot CD, but it wasn't particularly clear how to go about it, so I tried using the XP System Recovery app on the install disks. This got me into a C: prompt.

I remembered that the Dell did not come with a Windows XP install disc in case I need to re-format. Is this normal? There is an option under Start....Accessories....System Tools to create OS backup disc. Is that what I need to make a disc or should it have came with one?
