How To Reinstall Windows Without Losing
Anything -
You can use this method as often as you like
when you need to repair something that had
gotten corrupted and you don't want to do a
clean install.
This is better than doing a windows repair
install from the cd because doing that can
cause changes to settings and even make it so
you can't get updates anymore from microsoft
update site because of the 'silent install' they
did a year or so ago (unless you rereg some dll
files).
1- Start WindowsXP
2- Go to the location of your source files
3- Run WINNT32 /unattend
For example, D:\I386\winnt32 /unattend
( copy & paste this command into the RUN
box, then press ENTER ) Your computer will do
the rest.
OR
Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command
Prompt. Copy & paste > D:\I386\winnt32 /
unattend (notice the space between 32 and / )
Press Enter.
If you have i386 on your drive, you can replace
D: ( if D: is your cd drive ) with the location of
it. (be sure it's the full i386 though)
D: is the driver letter where your windows XP
Cd is if D:\I386\winnt32 /unattend doesn't
work then try : d:\winnt32 /unattend. (HOME)
