I'm afraid we r not understanding each other :(
I'll try to be as claer as i can.. sorry for my english again.
Let's see what has happened:
1. Computer was working properly before all this mess under W2K
2. Somebody (I really dont know why) tried an in-place install with W2K, although it was...
I mean , i cannot get any prompt but the repair console... the only way to avoid the step of install screen and then stucks is choosing Repair console when i boot with diskettes. All the other option send me to the install screen and after that the error.
The problem is more important than I though... when I press F8 in order to choose Safe Mode, or Safe Promp Mode or things like that... it always shows the green install screen and ask me for windows CD no matter what i choose, and always starts looking for hardware components and always gets...
I only can think about another solution:
Try a new w2k install, no an in-place install, but a parallel instal.. and once i've chosen it.. I specify the same directory where my system was... but i'm afraid it suposes all my software there will be ignored and I would have windows without programs...
Well.. u propsed 2 solutions:
1.- Inplace install
I've tried it, but as i said before, it becomes into a repetitve process, because when install program is looking for installed components and hardware apeears the BSDO
2.- Repair utility
I ve tried also, but the same result... it executes...
As i see we both r connected... i could give u my msn (ralper1@hotmail.com)... in this way we could talk in a more comunicative way...
we could copy and paste all the chat later if u think it is useful
I know i can do a inplace install with w2k boot diskettes (i've been doing that all the day :( ) , and now i can see i really need XP boot diskettes in order to execute repair utility..i'm afraid i can do no more than wait until tomorrow, get six new diskettes and try the repais utility.. isnt...
i have to recognize i'm loosing control... i've tryed to execute the repair utility file (which is an exe file, chkreg.exe or sth like that) form repair console, but of course it doesnt recognize, as it only recognizes console commands... the situation is the following...
have no diskettes, i...
I know i must look like a silly and awful man, but i have one more question
I ve read the page u sent:
http://www.digitalwebcast.com/2002/03_mar/tutorials/cw_boot_toot2.htm
And i think it is a manual procedure to reapir the register, as i read, i can see u copy the files in Repair directory...
Sorry for bothering u again bcastner.. I ve read all the links u have sent me, and i like the idea of an in-place upgrade (in fact, this is because at this moment i dont have six new diskettes , so i cannot do the repair method until tomorrow).
The problem is, that when i read the procedure to...
Hi again bcastner...
I've been reading about the repair utility.... First u have to download XP boot disks... after that u have to change then usind the repair utility.. then reboot the corrupted computer where u want to repair the w2k register using XP boot disks... hmmm.. sounds not good.. i...
Thanks for ur help bcaster, I wouldnt mind to do a clean install, but in this case... would all the old programs be transfered to this clean install? i'm afraid they wouldnt, and i would like to have the desktop as it was before, more or less.
Do u mean a clean and new install in order to repair...
First of all sorry for my poor English (I'm from Spain)
I have a problem with a computer... someone was trying to re-install windows 2k, and he reseted the computer during this process. The problem is that when he tried again to go on with the instalation, during the phase in which install...
