Double click on My Computer ICON \nDouble click on Control Panel \nDouble click on Add/Remove Programs \nClick on Start - up Disk button \nClick on Create Disk button \nPut disk in A drive \nHit OK button \nThis will load all system files and some useful utilities to allow you access to your computer by taking you to the A drive. From there you will be able to access files and begin troubleshooting the problem that prompted you to use the disk. Use this disk when Windows will not completely come up or there's other problems that indicate an Operating System problem.

Use windows XP, it has its own tool.  Here's the Microsoft Instruction manual for Win XP  and make one for each of your hobbies/interests...  Like one for music, one for games .....   Here's the link:\n\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=313348\n\nBe careful not to leave the C: drive too small, it fill quickly when you shrink it...   Remember, everything you download update or install, defaults to save on that drive unless you remember to and are permitted, by the program, to change the directory.\n\nI have 3 physical drives.  One for Windows, one for games, one for movies and music.

Well, run the windows XP setup from Windows 2000 and when you're prompted whether to upgrade or new installation, select "new installation" and chose the drive letter in a further step. There you go. Windows XP + Windows 2000 Pro

If you can use the partition, as in start up on it. Then just start the computer.. copy everything you want to a cd-rom, flash-drive, or whatever medium youy plan to use to save contents. \n\nThen boot from the XP disk: to do this, you will have to go into your bios, and change the boot order to check to cd-rom drive first... \n\nWhen the system boots from the disk, it will take you into Windows setup, where you can choose to remove the partition,  format, and install a fresh clean copy.

You can make one yourself using a DVD (a CD doesn't have enough space).  If you are running XP, just go Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Backup.  Just follow the directions from there.

Detech All the USB devices and Run the Installation CD of WindowsXP, but don;t do a fresh Installation instead opt for Upgrading the operating system.. This way you need not to install al the other software again..\n  And believe me with windows this is the best option,will take only 50 Mins,and you need not to have tension in your mind..\n  (Iassume your hardware is working fine)

1. Defrag your hdd.\n2. Deactivate unnecessary startup application. (If using WinXP, can run 'msconfig' and check the startup tab.)\n3. Free up diskspace by deleting unnecessary files\n4. Upgrade your RAM to at least 512MB\n5. Disable eye-candies on UI\n6. Upgrade to WinXP if using other Microsoft OS, WinXp is todate the better one coming out from MS.

Insert the WinXP CD in the CDROM drive (or DVD drive if no CDROM is\navailable). When your computer starts booting, press the DEL key and\nenter the CMOS Setup utility. In the "Advanced" section you should see\nthe boot sequence. Set the first boot device to CDROM and the second\nboot device to HDD0 (that's hard drive zero). Save setting and exit.\nWhen it says "Press any key to boot from CD..." hit enter. Windows will\nstart, load drivers and other necessary files into memory. Follow each\nscreen until you get to the partitioning screen. Choose to delete the\nprimary partition if there is only one. If there are more than one,\ndelete the secondary partition(s) first then the primary. Next create a\nnew partition. Windows setup will then format the drive and install the\nOS.\n\nIf you ignore the message Press any key to boot from CD..." the system\nwill boot from the hard drive after the above steps are completed. Later\ngo back to the CMOS Setup Utility and set the boot sequence back to\nnormal.

Set the BIOS to to boot from the XP CD, it should detect the disk and give\na brief message, during the boot up, if you wish to boot from the CD press\nany key. Do it.\n\nOnce you have pressed a key, setup should begin. You will see a reference\nasking if you need to load special drivers and another notice that if you\nwish to begin the ASR (Automatic Recovery Console) depress F2. Just let\nsetup run past all of that. It will continue to load files and drivers.\n\nThen it will bring you to a screen. Eventually, you will come to a screen\nwith the option to (1) setup Windows or (2) Repair Windows Installation\nusing the Recovery console.\n\nThe first option, to setup Windows is the one you want and requires you to\npress enter. When asked, press F8 to accept the end user agreement. Setup\nwill then search for previous versions of Windows. Upon finding your\nversion, it will ask if you wish to Repair your current installation or\ninstall fresh. Press R, that will run a repair installation. From there\non, follow the screens.\n\nhttp://www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/repair_xp.htm\nhttp://michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm\nhttp://www.dougknox.com/xp/tips/xp_repair_install.htm
