Restore Xp After Vista Installation
Steps to Recover Files after Windows Reinstall: Step 1: Run the Windows File Recovery application on your system. Step 2: Click on the Recover Files option. In the list of logical drives, select the right disk partition for recovery. Press on the Scan icon. If you have an option to repair the present Windows XP installation, press R key here. Windows XP setup will then check your hard disk(s): After disk check is complete, Windows will copy setup files to your hard drive: When file copy process has completed, Windows XP will restart your computer. Restoring the Windows XP bootloader on my machine. These are the steps I took to restore the Windows XP bootloader: Booted in Windows XP Formatted the Vista partition Inserted the Windows Vista installation DVD Executed bootsect.exe as follows: X: Boot bootsect.exe /nt52 C: /force Reboot the machine. If the hard drive is kaput, the recovery disc doesn’t help you. It does help if you buy and install a replacement hard drive. Before using a recovery disc, consider running the System File Checker (SFC). A recovery disc is also part of a backup-restore operation. After recovering the computer to its pristine state, restore your backup files.
been running XP Pro for quie some time and recently installed Vista using
Partition Magic and have also installed Vista BootPro. I planned a full
migration of all of my data from XP today but cannot boot into XP for some
reason. I was going to export or save vital data from XP, so this is quite a
bummer. I cannot enter Safe Mode nor use Last Known Good Config options for
XP. My box makes it up to the 'Starting Windows' screen and hangs there.
After exporting the data I require from XP and saving to disk I was going to
manually install all of my progs into Vista (Quite a plan for the 4th, huh?)
Is there a method to utilize an XP Restore Point from Vista to enable me to
boot into XP?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you may provide!
