1. c:windows
2. f:winnt (which is CD drive)
for either, asked to "type the administrator password"
Not sure which I should have chosen, 1 or 2
For 1, hitting Enter does nothing
For 2, hitting Enter, get error message, "the password is not valid"

I've been trying to do a XP Home Edition repair install for a very long time now. I've restarted it a lot of times but in the "Installing Windows" section when it says setup will approximately complete in 25 mintues it starts "copying files", I get this "copy error" "Setup cannot copy the file licwmi.dl_.Ensure that the disk labeled 'Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 1 CD' is in the drive section below, or provide the location where the file can be found."

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm running Windows XP SP3. For the last 4 days the computer kept randomly shutting down for no apparent reason, often times when I was in the middle of typing documents (causing me to lose everything I wrote!). I used my Windows installation disc to try and repair Windows. But it kept shutting down in the middle of the repair. Figuring the file system might be messed up, I reformatted the harddrive and then tried doing a reinstallion of Windows. Again, this damn thing keeps shutting down in the middle of my re-installation!
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have an XP Pro computer with SP1a. The computer started resetting itself after a blue STOP screen that flashed on for a fraction of a second shortly after the XP Professional startup screen. Since I couldn't persuade it to go into safe mode (or any mode), I tried a repair from installation CD. After about 20 minutes in the Installing Drivers section of the install it gives a STOP error saying that the CDR4_XP.SYS driver may be corrupt, and the error Page Fault in Nonpaged Area. It then does a memory dump and restarts with a Chkdsk and resumes installing drivers again. After a further 20 minutes the whole saga repeats itself. I have gone into the recovery console and get a warning message System Registry does not appear to have an active ControlSet key. I can then put in the Admin password and get into the console.

You can attempt to repair this file by starting Windows Setup using the original Setup CD-ROM. Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair.The deal is I dont have the cd. IF someone could tell me how to get an xp cd (without buying) that'd be great.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI recently had a bad hard drive (It need the windows xp cd to boot) and saw that the problem was bad blocks. I decide to buy a new hard drive and use ghost to clone it. But, now i have the same problem with the new hard drive. After a while, i realize that obviously, if the disk was cloned, ONLY the information that can be copied was transfered to the other one.In conclusion, how can I resolve this issue without using system repair. the problem is that once i use this tool and then IE won't work. at last I had to format the drive.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a laptop with a proprietary CD that will only reformat the hard drive and load a ghost XP operating system. Is there any way to repair XP without having a MS XP disk, short of buying a MS XP system disk? By the way, I cannot stress enough the importance of backups. I use an external USB HD and do weekly full and daily differentials with NTBACKUP. When my laptop HD crashed, I was able to easily recover 100% of my files (less XP restore points, of course).

Briefly my PC keeps looping on start up, it won't start in safe mode, last known config etc, so after reading here I've popped in a XP CD to do a repair but from instructions I didn't chose the 'r' function but pressed 'enter' to start the setup. I accepted the licence agreement and the PC found 2 partitions but I don't get the option to 'repair'. All I can do is 'end' the setup as I don't want to wipe my data
View 5 Replies View RelatedI upgraded from xp pro sp2 to sp3 and after that computer was very slow. So I repaired SP3 and during that process it started asking for 'asms' file. Even though the sp3 cd(which i burnt from a ISO image) had the asms folder it does seem to sense the cd. I am really stuck now because, even if I reboot my pc without the cd it goes to windows setup asks for 'asms' file. Even in safe mode it says windows setup cannot proceed in safe mode it reboots.Kindly help me on what can I do now so that either i can get thru with the 'asms' file or is there a way I can revert back to sp2 and do any possible recovery so that I can go into windows and backup my files.

View 4 Replies View RelatedRight now I am having big problems with my PC. I cannot load Windows or boot in safe mode because I get this error message: MSVPC60.dll is missing, etc... .After that, the PC just hangs to a black screen. - I cannot repair Windows XP using traditional methods found on Google, such as booting with the Windows CD and going into setup and then repairing ( not using recovery console). Second, I have already tried one method in the recovery console : http://www.short-media.com/articles/repair_windows_xp, This method has eliminated a few errors ( Im now down to only MSVPC60 ) but it is enough to prevent me from doing anything.

I get to the point where I am suppose to choose the operation system that I want to repair but it is not there. It gives me the correct drive but there is no indication of the operating system.

View 14 Replies View RelatedMake sure the BIOS is set to boot from the CD (put the CD above the HD in the boot order) Insert the XP CD and boot to it When you see " To setup Windows XP now, press ENTER", go ahead and press ENTER You will now see an option to repair Windows by pressing "R". Do not select this option - it will only take you to the Recovery Console which is not what we want to do. Instead, choose to continue the installation When you see the license agreement, press F8 to agree On the next screen make sure your current XP installation is selected and then press "R" to repair XP At this point XP will begin to install on top of itself, replacing damaged, missing or altered system files. Follow the instructions on the remaining screens to complete the Repair Install. It will look very much like a normal (new) OS installation. If all goes well your repaired XP installation will remain iintact, keeping your personalized settings and installed programs as they originally were. Remember, choose the second repair option, not the first.

View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I started up my computer a few days ago to find it telling me I had a missing or corrupt file in windowssystem32configsystem. Now when I bought my computer I was sold the XP home license, and it just came with my computer, and have never needed the setup CD.So I went to the place I bought it, told them what happened they burned me a copy.So I boot off the cd, and enter the setup repair, it asks me for a password, I have never had one, default past with enter and continue on to try and fix it.Now this is where it gets interesting, I restarted to see if I had fixed the problem, and when it restarted my computer seemed to begin to load windows, when my computer suffered a LSASS.exe error, and restarts. So it eventually allows me to go back to the setup repair, but this time when it asks for a password, it doesn't allow me to default past by hitting enter. It tells me I have entered an incorrect admin password and after 3 tries, it says I have failed 3 times and then restarts.So I Googled the problem, and found it might have something to do with Sysrep(which im not familiar with) I have some important files on the computer I need rescued.
Basically what I am wondering is if there is a way to bypass this new password problem, or any way I could extract certain files from my hard drive without repairing windows.
