I did not say ASR. A notice to perform that comes up before setup is even
loaded. I was talking about after pressing enter to set up windows xp and
pressing f8 to agree to the EULA if there is a damaged version of windows
found it will ask if you want it to automatically repair the selected
installation. When I boot onto the xp cd though, it doesnt give me this
option. It goes straight to showing me the list of xp installations and
partitions available with no option to automatically repair a damaged
installation. What I want to know is if there is a way to make setup
recognize that my xp installation is damaged so it will give me that option.
