REPAIR DON'T FORMAT YOUR WINDOWS

If some day your XP refuses to run or strat up properly or the OS
choice doesn't appear you don't always need to format & re-install XP.
I suggest you do a dry run of Windows Recovery Console. To do this all
you need is your bootable Windows 2000 / XP CD.
When you insert the cd & select CD-ROM & set your first boot device to
CD-ROM & boot using your Windows boot CD.
Next, choose the repair or recovery option bu pressing [R]. If you
have more than one installation of Windows, they will appear in
choices menu, so be awareof where the copy of windows you wish to
repair is installed. You need to enter Administrator password in order
to "log on" to the windows installation.
You will then see a command prompt window that says "X:\WINDOWS",
where X is the partion of operating system.
Now one by one type
fixboot<drive letter>
bootcnf /rebuild
chkdsk x (where X is the partion letter)
now try to to start the computer if it still refuses then again open
recovery console & type follwing commands
attrib -h -s \system32\config\system (press [Enter])
attrib -s -h \system32\config\software (press [Enter])
when you are prompted to proceed with an overwrite, press [Y].
Note:- In last two commands all your drivers & softwares won't work
you need to re-install them but its quicker & easier than format &
re-install Windows & programs & drivers.

                                                                                   Which browser do you use for daily surfing chances are you would say Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera etc… anything but Internet Explorer. However, Microsoft has just unleashed the beta version of IE9, which could make you change your mind about browsers.
