Ways to restore your operating system (XP)

When the operating system has crashed there are some steps you can try before reformatting and reinstalling xp. In most cases this should help except for hardware problems {blue screen} and formatting will not help either. Or in the event that the operating system was damaged by a virus and the only way is to neutralize the virus, or to format. But there are other reasons that the operating system simply crashes, mainly poor computer maintenance which we will talk about later. The guide is structured in order of priorities, each option to restore the system is on its own. That is, they try a step and check. Didn't help - continue to the next step.

First option:
Start System Restore. When the computer is off, disconnect the internet cable from the computer and leave it outside until the system is restored. We will also disconnect the power connection to the computer for a few seconds and reconnect.

We will restart the computer and alternately press the F8 key on the keyboard until a table appears.
In the table we select the option:

safe mode with command prompt
Then in the command line {start session}
Write the command:
cd windows\system32 esore strui.exe
When the system restore window came up, select a date as far away as possible and perform the restore.

second option:
Repairing damaged files by recovery console using the xp installation disc.
The Recovery Console option in Windows XP allows the recovery of the operating system in case of an accident
Failure, if the system is not initialized properly or is not initialized at all. When rising in safe mode and options
Other reboots don't work, you can use the Recovery Console.

It is advisable to start the Recovery Console, reboot the computer and alternately press the Del key. in the selected table
for the computer to boot from the CD drive.
Insert the xp installation disk and reboot the computer
Select the operating system by selecting the number 1 key
When asked to enter a password, ignore it and press enter
We will get to the command line
Type in the command line the command CHKDSK /R
Press enter
The file repair process will begin
At the end of the process we will remove the installation disk
and write exit and enter

Third option:
The 99% saves the situation as long as it is not a hardware problem or a virus.
This option is called patch installation.
This installation is an installation on the existing operating system on your computer
without damaging the files and software installed on it.
We will reboot the computer and alternately press the Del key, in the table it is selected that the computer will boot from the CD-ROM drive.

After the installation disk loads and the computer restarts, the installation program will begin.
The following options will appear on the blue screen:
to setup windows xp press enter
to repair a windows xp installation using recovery console press R
to quit setup without installing windows xp press F3
We will press ENTER
When the license agreement comes up press F8 to confirm
Then again two options will appear:
to repair the selected windows xp installation press R
to continue installing a fresh copy of windows xp without repairing press esc
We will press the R key
The installation will look and take the same length as a normal installation, but will not damage the files and programs that are installed,
Just heal damaged files in the operating system.
There is another preferred option called "override installation" in which we will install windows and overwrite the
The existing installation without formatting
But the following folders will be reset:
windows
documents and settings
And also some of the folders that are stored in program files.

It is advisable to perform a trampling installation, after the above two possibilities appear:

to repair the selected windows xp installation press R
to continue installing a fresh copy of windows xp without repairing press esc
Press the esc key to proceed with a full installation and not a patch installation.
