Restored SP1 Over SP2
Jul 23, 2005
Yesterday I used a system rescue disk to fix a problem with my sound drivers. The type of rescue was a non-destructive one - one that keeps all your files and programs but re-installs the original operating system and pre-installed software.I was running SP2 before the install and the rescue CD i have has installed SP1. Now the computer seems to be running a bit of both SP1 and SP2. I can't start the system restore program because the System Restore service keeps failing to start.I can't do a complete install/uninstall of SP2 because the Microsoft Installer Service also fails to start. I also get numerous errors at start up with processes that are used by my antivirus and printer. Could anybody suggest a way to fix this, maybe to install/reinstall SP2 without needing the MSI Service?

A friend of mine called himself fixing my PC, he dumped my hard drive and installed windows 2000 server. I have been trying to use my recover disks to set it back to specs with windows XP back on it. It will not read from the discs and boots up as normal. I do have a different CD drive but I didnt think that would affect the reading of the recovery discs. How can I get my PC restored?

Hello all My fathers' answer to any little thing that's bugging him on his computer is to run the QuickRestore CD that came with his computer - but he compulsively saves all his business receipts and cannot learn how to back up and he didn't think about that before he used the CD, and now he's looking to ME to see if anything can be recovered. I have a file recovery program that the kind folks here taught me how to use, but I've never come up against anything this extreme. From your experience, can "things" (what he cares most about is his aol huge filing cabinet and favorite places) be recovered under these circumstances? He has said he would be willing to physically bring the HD in to a lab if necessary. If someone could take a moment to write back,

I keep getting read ahead falures on various drives and partitions. What can I do? I've already restored several times, it then goes away for a bit, only to return. I contantly use chkdsk and clean the registery and keep defrag up to date. Do I really need to format and reinstall XP, or is there an easier route?

When a system restore is required, do the document files, such as word, get restored to the restore point date? I have files that have been amended since the last known good configuration date. Don't want to lose information.

I have two hard drives connected to my system. I will refer to them as A and B. I had previously taken a Ghost image of drive A and wanted to restore this image to the drive. However, both the drive were connected to the system when the restore occurred and the image got restored to drive B. Hence I have lost the data I had on drive B. The operating system in use is Windows XP. The version of Ghost used is Norton Ghost 2001
