Very interesting! I’m going to take a look at that page and your submitted recipe this weekend. I want to try this stuff out.

Wooohhooo!

sorry, davak… you’re right, you can then use your xp disk, and do an “r ” for repair, then you boot to the current system (usually “1″)
do a chkdsk /p will 80% of the time fix the boot problems, if not, go through the rest of the install and there should be another opportunity to “repair” further along in the install dialoguethat works 95% of the time, but you have to redo all the updates.

good luck!

Yeah, I agree. I’ve had great luck with chkdsk.

I usually will just boot to cd-rom as described here:

stpt… welcome to tech-recipes! You’ve obviously got a lot of knowledge to share. I’ve just got to figure out how to boot to my usb thumbdrive next. :)

Of note, those are the install disks… not pure boot disks.
