Windows Forum / Windows XP / General Topics 2 / May 2008Help!! win xp home sp2 installation problem
Help! trying to do a new installation of xp home sp2 (yes have disc) on compaq presario laptop, (already had same os on it, wasnt able to repair, so doing new installation) In installation process kept getting error message, file corrupt or missing, contact system admin. Now will not boot at all, new error message: file missing or corrupt, \windows\system32\config\system.sav Went into recovery console, am currently running chkdsk /r, now what else can I do to fix this issue or am I just screwed? Thanks. I would suspect a corrupt original media install disk. REPLACEMENT MS CDs - 800-360-7561  SignatureMark L.

Are we talking format & install or are you creating an install of windows in a new folder so as not to lose your files.

If it doesn't work a second time then I would suspect the media is damaged as per Mark's comment. Neil > Had already removed everything i needed to keep, so it is a format and > install.

Are you booting off the CD? Is your CD a restore/recovery disk or an installation disk? > Help! trying to do a new installation of xp home sp2 (yes have disc) on > compaq presario laptop, (already had same os on it, wasnt able to repair, so [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > can I do to fix this issue or am I just screwed? > Thanks. Why did you chose to reload? Were there errors on the old system? You seem to have corruption, as others have said, maybe the CD, but could it be that you had HD problems? In which case the HD has not been solved by the reload. Do you have another PC to do a test on the CD. CDCheck does a good job. http://www.kvipu.com/CDCheck/download.php |
