windows xp repair nightmare. Please help
LockedHi,
Please help as i am out of ideas. I’m working on an IBM R32 laptop running xp pro. It was constantly freezing so i ran the repair option off the install disk. After the first reboot following the copy of the files from the disk, it crashed with an 0x7e bsod. I tried to enter safemode but it wont allow it because it still wants to continue the installation setup and wont let safemode run. (I suspect the video driver is the problem and want to update it under safemode). Is there a way i can stop the continuation of the setup process? I’ve tried enabling VGA and using the last known good configuration but neither worked. Can i do a restore from the dos prompt? And is there an easy way to replace the video driver from the dos prompt? I’ve tried using the recovery console using bootcfg /rebuild with no success. I’m not too familiar with the recovery console so i’m not sure what else i should try. Please help. I can provide additional information along with what else i’ve tried (can’t remember, too many), if neccessary.
