problem with XP SP3 Corporate Edition
August 4th, 2016
I wanna ask one thing-> I installed the SP3 and is using it for more than 1 month… But does it contain the “repair windows” feature?? Before installing this Servide-pack 3, i was using SP2 and then it got a problm with a file missing, thus preventing me to login…. When i tried the SP3 bootable disk to try repair it. i did not find the “repair windows” feature! then i format my Hard-Disk and installed SP3, When i tried to see if there was the “repair” feature, it was not there! why???? is it bcoz it is corporate? What if i get some severe problem later. how will i repair?
the repair feature to repair an OS is on the windows disk, not on the operating system installer. You need to boot from disc and press R when you reach the forked road screen (where you an either install XP fresh or repair install)
You probably downloaded a slimmed down copy or one that’s got a custom name for the OS thus making the XP setup think that you don’t have it installed already. Download a corporate or student edition off here. Preferably the ETH0 releases (although I don’t think the group itself exists anymore)
Customized windows will have the repair option not available…You only get the repair option if you use untouched windows XP CD…
run XP installer from ur installation disk and u will come across “Repair Windows” option
actually i downloaded that OS in itself and it was marked as untouched corporate… that came with proof and several users commenting on it…. I tried to search for it but did not find it anymore… too bad!
If as much as the key is integrated and nothing else..Still no repair option…
