Windows XP reparieren – Wenn nichts mehr geht

Windows XP reparieren, weil nichts mehr geht: Der Schrecken eines jeden Windows Users ist eingetreten und lässt sich nicht mehr auf herkömmlichem Wege beheben. Das bunte Windows eXPerience hat seinen Geist aufgegeben und lässt sich nicht mehr hochfahren, was defekte Treiber oder zerstörte Systemdateien versucht haben könnten. Selbst über den abgesicherten Modus, die letzte als funktionierend bekannte Konfiguration oder die Systemwiederherstellung lässt sich rein gar nichts erreichen – bevor Sie nun die Segel streichen schenke ich ihnen ein Licht am Ende des Tunnels: Die Windows XP Reparaturfunktion.

Repair using the Windows XP repair function

All system files are restored and the computer is restored to an executable state.

1. Switch on your computer and press the button Removal or F2 to access the computer's basic program (BIOS), from which you can make important system settings.

2. Now wind your way through the BIOS Features Setup and now place under an entry which Boot Sequence or similar should read CD-ROM.

3. Now exit the BIOS and insert the Windows XP CD-ROM into the drive, which will then immediately appear when the computer is restarted. Now press a key to start from the CD.

4. Now run through the setup and press Enter at the welcome message to start the Windows XP installation (do not call up the repair console, as this has nothing to do with this). The wizard reports that it has found a version of XP and that it can overwrite or repair it. Now press R for the repair.

5. The file transfer will start immediately and you will be able to work in your Windows XP again after a short time. However, it is essential that you completely reinstall the graphics card and monitor drivers beforehand so that the optimum refresh rate is achieved.

Founded Windows Tweaks as a teenager in the 90s. His helpful PC tricks made it Germany's most visited Windows site (back then this is what Sandro looked like). He then went on to write elsewhere, such as for PC-Praxis, Computer Bild and PCWorld in the USA. Microsoft also poached him from us. Now Sandro is back, finally sharing his tweaks here again.
