Michael Stevens Tech has detailed information on all aspects of doing a repair install. It covers all the preparation, complications and issues involved in getting this complex procedure to work. You need to be somewhat technical and your best advised to have access to expert help if you run into problems. If this method works, your system will be back in shape without losing any programs or data.
A quick solution might be XP repair using recovery console features. The Icrontic site details an 8 step process that works in a great number of cases which was worked out by a Geek Squad veteran.
Situations Where Repair Install or Recovery Console Won't Work
If you have a serious virus problem or a corrupted system with major system and registry errors, a repair install or recovery console repair will probably not do the trick. You could use anti virus software to get rid of the virus and you might have luck with a good registry repair tool for registry issues. You would still face system repair issues.
At Home XP Recovery
There is a method which would work for all situations and it is automatic, quick and thorough. If you can boot, you won't even need your XP installation disk. Reimage does an automated repair to your system by scanning it and comparing what it finds to a vast database that contains information and components for all XP functions and operations.
The system is fully scanned and all issues are noted and recorded. Any missing or damaged items are replaced. Harmful or duplicate content is removed. In about 35 minutes, your system is back to normal with all problems solved while you waited.
There is a charge for the repair but it's quite modest compared to what it would cost you to get professional help. Even if you could do the repair yourself, you will save a lot of time and frustration using this powerful tool.
If you are unhappy with the repair for any reason, you can undo its changes and there is no charge.
Summary
You have a number of ways to go to fix your broken XP system. Now that you know what's involved, make the choice that works for you. Best of luck with your repair.
