Vista - Re: Repair Install

10-24-2007

A Microsoft employee talked about this in an earlier post about the same
method of rapairing system still involves booting from the Windows Vista
DVD, selecting System Recovery Option > on the setup screen select Repair
Computer > select your installation of Windows > choose the 'Startup Repair'
option, follow instructions.

Although its labeled Startup Repair, its actually misleading and does repair
issues beyond starting up the system.

I just have time to read only paqrt of your post but if you cannot get the
system to boot then just use a bootable CD and install XP. Then complete
that install from which you can upgragde. I do hope this small bit of info
is helpful because I am in a rush and cannot spare the time to go beyond the
rudimentry instructions
