The quickest way to recover to an operating stste would be to perform a
Repair Installation: not to use recovery console to attempt to fix your
corrupted system.
1. Go to BIOS and make sure booting from CD is the first boot option.
2. If your computer does not support booting from the CD, check your OEM or
Motherboard makers web site for updated BIOS.
3. Perform a Repair Install by following the step by step below.
Insert the Windows setup CD in your Optical Drive and
When you see the "Welcome To Setup" screen, you will see the options below
This portion of the Setup program prepares Microsoft
Windows XP to run on your computer:
To setup Windows XP now, press ENTER.
To repair a Windows XP installation using Recovery Console, press R.
To quit Setup without installing Windows XP, press F3.
Press Enter to start the Windows Setup. Do not use recovery console.
Accept the License Agreement and Windows will search for existing Windows
installations.
Select the XP installation you want to repair from the list and press R to
start the repair.
Setup will copy the necessary files to the hard drive and reboot. Do not
press any key to boot from CD when the message appears. Setup will continue
as if it were doing a clean install, but your applications and settings will
remain intact.
Do not immediately activate over the internet when asked, enable the XP
firewall before connecting to the internet. You can activate after the
firewall is enabled. Control Panel - Network Connections. Right click the
connection you use, Properties, and there is a check box on the advanced
page.
Reapply service pack 2 and you should be up and running.
