Re: Attempted Repair of XP Pro installation

Yes, Method 1 is the one I attempted but after typing 'regedit.exe' and
Enter, I got a msg that 'a file name is required and none specified'. I
don't know what file name to use so could not proceed with 'regedit' Step 3.

Method 1
Warning If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious
problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft
cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry
Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.1. When you receive
the error message, press SHIFT+F10 to start a command session.
2. Type regedit.exe, and then press ENTER.
3. Click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
4. On the File menu, click Load Hive, and then load
%Windir%\System32\Config\System.sav.
5. When you are prompted to specify a name, type Test.
6. Locate and then click the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Test\ControlSet1\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
7. Delete the UPPERFILTERS and LOWERFILTERS registry keys.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for the other ControlSet# keys under the Test hive.
9. Click File, and then click Exit to quit Registry Editor.
10. If the path in the error message is the correct drive letter for the
CD-ROM drive, click OK to continue the Setup program.
11. If you receive the error message again, the Setup program cannot
correctly read from the CD-ROM drive, or the path information is incorrect.
In this case, restart your computer and let the Setup program resume.

Unable to boot after crash. Removed faulty drive. Remaining drive
checked
OK.
Would not boot normally. Boot from XP installation disk displayed
choice
of
repair or clean installation. On repair, went thru installation to
point
of
msg that it needed file 'asms' on CD-ROM. Unknown path on CD-ROM.
Downloaded 3 files from MS (1)SP2, (2) KB923191.asms, (3)KB924667.asms.
None
of these was what it was looking for. Unable to complete repair of XP
without this file. Clean install would lose program files and data so
prefer
not to do that. What next?
