How To Reinstall Windows Without
Losing Anything - You can use this method as often as
you like when you need to repair
something that had gotten corrupted
and you don't want to do a clean
install.
This is better than doing a windows repair install from the cd because
doing that can cause changes to
settings and even make it so you
can't get updates anymore from
microsoft update site because of the
'silent install' they did a year or so ago (unless you rereg some dll files).
1- Start WindowsXP
2- Go to the location of your source
files
3- Run WINNT32 /unattend
For example, D:\I386\winnt32 / unattend ( copy & paste this
command into the RUN box, then
press ENTER ) Your computer will do
the rest.
OR
Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. Copy & paste > D:
\I386\winnt32 /unattend (notice the
space between 32 and / ) Press Enter.
If you have i386 on your drive, you
can replace D: ( if D: is your cd drive )
with the location of it. (be sure it's the full i386 though)
D: is the driver letter where your
windows XP Cd is if D:
\I386\winnt32 /unattend doesn't
work then try : d:\winnt32 /
unattend.
