Hello. I seem to have ran into another problem. After I agree to the license agreement, and press ENTER, the next page looks diffrent from yours. On mine it says that all of my applications and documents WILL BE ERASED!!! I don't understand why this is happening. Also another question. If I were to completely reinstall XP over again, is there any way to retrieve all my Documents??? I don't mind if my applications get deleted, however I do need my documents. I run a 24 ghz proccesor, and 1 gb ram. Appreciate the help.

Hello sir, first of all thanks for this tutorial,
just one quick question please, If I do repair the installation in my windows XP OS, do you think, all my previous apps (softwares) will be affected?
I mean, just like my mozilla firefox? Do you think, I can retrieve all of my bookmarked sites and also my history?
thanks...

Hi,
Looks like I need to do this again... it's been a long time. There are just too many problems, a blue screen every hour or so, with many different causes. Need to remember to be quick with the F6 to load the RAID driver. Both C and S are RAID arrays. It started up a week or so ago after I rebuilt the C array after a bad power happening went right by the UPS. Sigh. Wish me luck and thanks for all you do.

It's an old BOXX 3DBOXX 5404, Tyan 2877, 2 AMD Opteron 270s, nForce Pro chipset, 4GB RAM (reads 3), ATI FireGL V3600, 80GB Mirror, 500GB Stripe, XP Pro SP3 32 bit. Viewsonic displays both died.

Hello,
Just tried this... This did not go well for me.
I hit F6 to load the RAID drivers from the floppy that BOXX support had made for me, which took a few tries to read as it is old. But it went in.
Somewhere between your instructions 7 and 8 in the original post, after hitting enter to choose Win XP Pro, it listed the 3 drives (C:\ , S:\ (the other RAID), and F:\, (the Seagate FreeAgent USB drive)) and asked me to choose a drive/partition to do it on. On C:\ (all of them really) it listed the partition as it is (about 1/2 full) with an 8MB additional un-partitioned one. I chose the partition it is currently on.
It then told me > in no uncertain terms < that everything in that partition would be wiped, all files, apps, everything!
I think this is not what you are intending to happen!
I then exited (never got to #8) and it said XP had not been installed and rebooted normally.
Can you tell me what I did wrong? Should I have hit R at that point? Not the initial one where I hit enter per your instruction. It's been a long time since I did this way back when...
Thanks.
Peace,
Iggy

Hi Iggy.
You should press enter on the partition you want to work on then it should take you to another blue screen later where it gives you the option to do a repair on that partition.
So don't press R the first time it asks. Do it on the second time.
Regards,
|

Hi tf76,
Thank you for that.
I figured I'd best ask before I blew stuff up, something I'm really quite good at!
I will try it again tomorrow and let you know how it went.
Peace.
Iggy
