I try to repair Windows system using a boot CD but there is no option to repair Windows?
Any idea what's going on?

When you boot off the cd it should come up with an option to hit "R" to do a repair.

AT the same time there are better ways of doing a repair

Are you using the same disk that you installed it with?

Maybe you need to check the version of Windows XP Cd that I have!

ok than and So why the repair option does not appear?

Shane · « **Reply #9 on:** November 28, 2012, 01:20:29 pm »

LIke I said I dont know. It is the same cd you installed with.

Perhaps because your cd is outdated and you installed service pack 3?

You just did a reinstall why do you need to do a repair install already?

Your going to need a xp cd with SP3 on it then to get the repair option.

Also remember that a lot of viruses will get on your system off sites with infected ads through java and or flash. Always make sure those are up to date
