| | Re: Repair install? Hi Sirius-- It would help to say what your problem is, but I imagine you can't boot or feel there is so much wrong with you OS that you need to fix it in some way. There may be ways to fix your OS but until you tell us we can't be specific and you may not need a repair install. You can do a repair install as in XP ***if you are in Windows Vista. If you can't boot, I'd suggest 1) Try startup repair 2) Try F8 to the Adv Options menu and try system restore from all safe modes or try LKG if those don't work. 3) Try using the bootrec.exe command switches: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392/en-us Bootrec.exe /fixboot Bootrec.exe /fixmbr Bootrec.exe /scanos Bootrec.exe //RebuildBcd Good luck, CH "Sirius" <nospam22-nospam@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:eg0$pMbQJHA.4424@xxxxxx Quote: > Hello, > > Does Vista give the "Repair install" option like XP does? > I am not able to find it, what am I doing wrong? > > Thank you. > > |
