XP huge problem

[officialblueboys]

Hi to all

I'm facing a huge xp problem. I've Win XP Home Edition SP1 . The problem is my windows is not booting . When it fails to boot it asks me to either boot in safe mode but I can't even boot in safe mode . I don't want to re-install my OS coz it will delete all my softwares and I don't want to reinstall them again. I think it has happened because of registry errors as I've cleaned out some registry with Registry Mechanic and after that whenever I tried to install a new software it always fail to register the .dll . So can anyone tell me to save my OS . I think it can be only done by Reparing my OS . Plzzz reply

Is there an options, Boot to last known configuration?

If not pop in the Winxp Cd, see if it self repairs... Probably not though.

Do you have an alternate pc? You can plug the drive in and save all your files to another pc.

Good luck!

Yup there was a option of last know config but that doesn't work too. Can anyone tell me the command to repir the OS

boot with the xp cd in, then when the install options menu appears it will say press R to restore windows, or something like that, then you just follow the instructions

Do you have a spare Computer to load the HD in, and try to save the files?

But if I some how I copy my s/w to another pc but they are not goin top run without that old registry

You already messed up the registry... Programs can be reinstalled.. im tlaking about emails/School work/Projects/Picstures...

 

[officialblueboys]

ohh ok
that doesn't matter coz they are on the other drive

I dont believe you have a problem with the registry... As the registry is a windows based program (kinda) If your PC wont boot you have other issues...

How far does it get? What screen do you see last?
Do you get an error? BSOD?

try going to the repair in the windows xp cd
then type in
chckdsk -r
that is check disk and the -r is it will auto repair any errors it finds

thnx guys for the response . My problem is solved .

But now I've a new problem .

After repairing my windows I've found that I can't copy any file from one folder to another.

Any solution?

mate i had the exact same thing the only way is to re format beacuse as the guy said before you most probably deleted the registry fille. you cant back up software anyways unless you have the installer.
