Repairing Windows XP
Use this repair procedure if you suspect that a Windows
XP system file has been corrupted, and you cannot
resolve the problem by running Disk Check or by using
System Restore. The advantage of repairing, as opposed
to reloading Windows XP, is that a repair only affects
the operating system files, and not the applications and
additional device drivers. This procedure takes about 40
minutes to complete.
Step Action
1. Open the CD drive and insert the Omni
Tech Product Recovery CD. Leave the drive
open to prevent autoloading of the CD.
2. Click on Start>Shut Down or Turn Off
Computer. In the Turn off computer
window, select Restart from the drop-down
menu. The CD drive tray closes
automatically as the system reboots. If not,
close the drive tray manually.
3. After the system locates a bootable CD in
the drive, it displays the prompt:
Loading OS from CDROM drive...
Press any key to boot from CD.
Press the Space Bar to boot from CD.
The system displays: Setup is inspecting
your computer’s hardware and starts
loading files from a blue text screen.
Note: If you do not press the space bar, the
system boots to the hard drive, if available
and functional.
If you cannot boot from CD, you may have
to change the device boot order in BIOS so
that the system looks for the CD drive
before booting from the system hard drive.
Press F2 when prompted at bootup to enter
the CMOS (BIOS) Setup program.
