Fixing Window’s XP with eight commands

I have come accross a great article which describes how to fix boot problems with windows XP. I am sure many of us have gotten into problems such as Windows NT could not start because the below file is missing or corrupt:X:\WINNT\System32\Ntoskrnl.exeWell, no more re-installing Windows XP. Just follow the steps below:
1. Insert your start-up windows XP cd
2. Select 2 to go to your recovery console (usually the prompt will be C:\WINDOWS)
3. Type

• cd .. ( go to prev directory – C:\)
• attrib -H c:\boot.ini (Remove the hidden attribute)
• attrib -S c:\boot.ini (Remove the system attribute)
• attrib -R c:\boot.ini (Remove the read-only attribute)
• del boot.ini (delete the file)
• BOOTCFG /Rebuild (This is the magic command – searches/fix/replace/repair any faulty system files)
• CHKDSK /R /F
• FIXBOOT (write to mbr)

6. Note that you need to use the /FASTDETECT as the OS Load Options. And if your pc runs on a Intel XD or AMD NX you need to use /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN in conjunction with /FASTDETECT

7. Congratulations.

Repairing windows made easy.
