The reason, if you go through the menus and pick the wrong option you can inadvertently erase the contents of your entire drive. I'm not trying to scare you from doing a drive diagnostic, just making sure you are warned about not reading the documentation. If your drive came back OK after running the drive diagnostic utilities then continue.
If your drive came back bad or you encountered an error during the diagnostics please call a tech support company in your area or post to our forums. You should already have made a backup using Knoppix and steamwiz's tutorial above. This could have fixed your problem but if not, then proceed to Option 3. Option 3 This step is rather detailed and will only work if you have System Restore turned on.
You will need to go back into the Recovery Console following the steps above of course. Once you're logged into the proper Windows installation we need to run some commands. Here are some notes before we continue. What you are about to do is basically a minor System Restore via the Recovery Console. I say minor because you're only going to copy part of the registry, not the whole thing.
Since you are copying over a registry backup to be used you may loose some program s or their settings, it all depends on when the last Restore Point for System Restore was created. If some programs don't work it's really as simple as reinstalling them. The text in red will be what you type and the black text will what the system outputs or what is put there by the system. The "rp" part of the folder name denoting it's a R estore P oint What you'll want to do is find the 2nd highest numbered folder in that list.
So, for instance, if it listed rp1 thru rp24 you'll want the rp23 folder. I'll use rp23 for the rest of this little fix just to keep things simple but substitute rp23 for whatever folder is the 2nd highest in the list on your pc.
Now, we have more commands.. If by some chance this did not fix your issue you can either go through this option again and try a different restore point or continue with the other options. If this happens to you please follow either option 3 or 4 at your discretion.
Either of those should fix this issue. Unfortunately, I don't have an answer as to why suddenly the Recovery Console either asks for a password when it didn't before or it doesn't recognize the password you used the first time.
I can assure you that I am looking into this and will give you the answer as soon as I do. I've tried writing this option before but it seemed as though this option was turning into another article inside of an article discussing how to add your dead hard drive as a secondary drive to a working computer so I thought of just writing it assuming you know how to do that. If you don't, please post on the forums or just skip to Option 4. On with the article. This option works if you have a 2 nd working computer running Windows , XP, or and also if you have system restore enabled on the dead computer.
Once you have the dead hard drive installed in the working computer please boot the working computer. There, you should also see another hard drive listed. Open that drive. Try and open it. You can now enter that folder. Once you open that folder you will be faced with 2 files and one folder. Open that folder and you will now see all the rpXX folders, where XX is the number of restore points you have. Following the same examples from Option 2 you want to pick the 2 nd highest numerical folder in the list and open it.
For example, if I had folders rp01 through rp27 listed I would want to open rp After opening that folder you will see 14 files and 1 folder.
We are worried about the files which are your backed up registry files from system restore. For right now, minimize this window.
Now minimize this window. Before continuing let's make sure we got this right. If that is correct, turn OFF the computer and unplug it from the wall outlet. If you have done what you were told, you would already have read the article by steamwiz and downloaded Knoppix v5 or higher and burned it to a cd. If you have, continue, if not, shame on you for not backing up your data and I don't want to hear your whining if you lose your kids baby pictures.
Now download that Knoppix ISO and burn it to a disc! If you have trouble booting from the Knoppix CD you may ask in the Help2Go forums or you may ask in the Knoppix forums. If you have more than one, each one is a separate partition on your hard drive. Once you have finished those steps click the icon in the bottom left corner of the screen where the Windows Start Menu usually is.
It's a blue K icon with a gear in it. Once the computer ejects the cd automatically for you, remove the cd, and press the enter key on the keyboard to finish restarting hopefully to a fixed Windows Desktop. If for some reason you want the original tutorial you can PM me: PartieHonteuse and I will attach it to the reply. Remember Me? Take administrative ownership of the corrupted system file. To do this, at an elevated command prompt, copy and then paste or type the following command, and then press ENTER:.
Grant administrators full access to the corrupted system file. Replace the corrupted system file with a known good copy of the file. If the steps above don't work, you may need to reinstall Windows.

Easy to follow. Report abuse. Details required :. Cancel Submit. What system recovery is that you are trying to run? If you are trying to follow Microsoft article KB to resolve a non booting issue and a system file missing or corrupt message, I would recommend you read and apply this first and you may find that KB is unnecessary: Was the issue preceded by a power interruption, aborted restart, or improper shutdown? These can cause corruption in the file system which must be fixed before you do anything else.
If any of those events have occurred or even if they have not occurred , you should verify the integrity of your file system before doing anything else especially "trying" things. It makes zero sense to start trying to copy files around on a hard disk that has a corrupted file system so this must be fixed first using the XP chkdsk program, and running chkdsk may resolve your issue entirely.
Use the XP Recovery Console to verify the file system on your HDD and correct any problems and then try to boot your system - this may be all you need to do. Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work. This is not the same as any recovery disks that might have come a store bought system. Let chkdsk finish and correct any problems it might find.
It may take a long time to complete or appear to be 'stuck'.
