The Windows XP CD comes enclosed with software that easily allows you to make a system recovery from a disaster that prevents your Windows system from booting.

Recovery from a computer disaster isn't fun no matter how you look at it. Whether your computer system crashed while installing an update, or a computer program took out half of your Windows systems files, there is some hope. Sure right now you are cussing out loud because you are forced to use someone else's computer, but reading this article will allow you to have your system running again in no time.

So you turn your computer on, wait for Windows XP to boot and are soon greeted with an error message. There are so many error messages, it's impossible to list them all here. But still, you have an error message which has caused a disaster for you, because now Windows XP will not, or is unable to boot.

Getting Windows XP to make a disaster recovery requires you to have a copy of the Windows XP CD-ROM.

Recovery first starts with locating a copy of the Windows XP CD-ROM. It does not matter if it's your own personal copy or a copy used on one of your other computer systems. What matters is that it a full install CD for Windows XP, and not a HP PC Recovery CD or similar.

Once you have hold of a Windows XP CD, you can begin to deal with your disaster by placing the Windows XP CD in your CD / DVD drive. Your recovery effort will start whenever the system begins to boot from the Windows XP CD.

As the system boots from the disk, please keep a careful watch of the words that are going on the screen. Once the system runs a few diagnostic tests on your hard drive, a blue screen will appear.

This blue screen is very important if you wish to make a recovery from your disaster. Messages will be appearing in the right hand corner, and they will be random devices loading.

Once you activate the Windows XP Installation Repair utility, your disaster will soon turn into a complete recovery.

The key ticket is when the message "Repair a Windows XP installation Press F5" appears. As this message is displayed, press the key in question, and you will be prompted with some messages concerning your disaster, and how to make a full recovery.

Most of the time, a few system files will either be missing or corrupt. If that is the case, then the repair tool will quickly determine this and reinstall the specific files in order to help bring your disaster to a recovery.

Sometimes the repair tool will ask you if you would like to restore all of your system files, while protecting your personal settings. This is an indication that your system did not just suffer a disaster, but a total meltdown. Immediately upon recovery of your system you should install antiviral software to prevent your system from becoming compromised again.
