Win XP Registry Restore with Missing restore points

by bigunclejohn . Updated 17 years, 3 months ago

Okay, system wouldn’t boot due to disk errors. Fixed disk, began using WinXP recovery & restore process, but when I got to the step requiring restore points, I only had folders RP0 and RP1 — all others were blank.

Am I totally hosed? is the original registry completely gone?

All the software is still there, as are all of the files, but NOTHING shows as installed.

Does windows hide yet another copy of these files or do I have to start re-installing everything again?
