To fix this I had to edit my boot. Just wanted to let people know that they might need to do some additional work not mentioned in this article. Elhassan It works just like a charm. Your article saves my day. Thank you a lot. Will report back with the results!
How can I recover that functionality? That command returns "The parameter is not valid. Shame On You! I hope you haven't led too many people into screwing their computers into oblivion, like most of the other Geek Squad wanabees have, already.
This is true in Windows Some Command Line Interpreters might need "aattrib -r -s -h" without the quotes instead of "attrib -rsh" without the quotes to clear all the flags. Summarily blowing away the boot. The people adding multi boot sequences should be tech-savvy enough to figure out the problem on there own or at least be able to google until they find an answer As far as a "multiboot environment" that's going to be pretty rare considering any PC, no matter what it is will always run better with a single OS rather then 2 or more Ehhh I dont know how valid this is.
Maybe partially true, as in the "inner" OSs, those farther in on the disk, will be "slower" but that is only marginally so and if you are using a SSD, I would think that there would be zero performance degradation. If you're using XP Pro and you have forgotten your admin password, you could reset it.
I don't see the point in running multi OS's on one system unless it's a server. Such as one linux based OS for placing product orders and one OS for a work station environment. I rearranged all files to be as close to the center of the disc to try to improve boot speed and the time it takes for switching OS's. Barely worth the effort My opinion stands. Unless you're in a work environment or wanting to "try" a new OS such as Ubuntu it's always better to use a single OS rather then two.
It'll also save you gigs of space to boot That's not really true, I'm afraid. A boot sector is a boot sector. Adding another OS shouldn't slow down the OS in the slightest. Also, the center of the disk is not the fastest. God Bless. I used my operating system cd to get it to started back. It came back on but it partition my hard drive. I have a back up file on my C drive. Can I change those two files back and restore it or is there anything else I can do to restore my computer back the way it was?
Saved on of my client's Production server on Windows NT. I'd suggest hooking you disk up to another system using a USB enclosure is the easiest way to do it , back up any data you can pull off it and replace the disk. The blue screen appears before I can get so far. Your solution works fine for me. It is clear and easy to learn.
You deserved a 10! I'm not posting this to slam the article - I loved it! It sent me looking in the right direction and taught me way more about Recovery Console than I ever knew. I love the part where it states "Neither of these procedures are cheap in the realm of commercial PC repair, nor do they inspire a tremendous level of confidence in the technician or the hopeful client. But thanks geeksquad, because if it wasn't for you guys i wouldn't be so busy fixing the problems you either couldn't or caused.
It worked form me. I am going to save this webpage in my Bookmarks. Much better than saving all data first and then formatting and reinstalling Windows.
I've spent three maddened days without access to my PC changing ribbon cables, testing different drives and all sorts of crap. Now I'm back online and typing this comment. But I wished someone would have told us newbbies the Windows disk may not be boot-able until you run it from the "safe mode" screen and press any key within 4 seconds!
I started checking for problems with my cd drive because it wasn't auto running. And in a less painful way. As the techniques given here perfectly illustrate, Windows' recovery options are nothing but a bad joke. How do we eliminate one of those options? I'm bringin' the Yankee pain.
That's because in the likely event the registry breaks enough to break Windows altogether, there's nothing you can do about it but reinstall. If you think that you do not need the selection anymore, you can turn off the display of the boot-menu by un-checking "Display list of operating systems" : If you have a Windows XP Recovery CD-ROM, then you may not have the option to select "Recovery Console".
