In any instance that your Windows declines to boot up properly, you can use your recovery instead to boot up your hard disk to solve the problem on your computer. As many users are asking us an easier way to create bootable USB to reduce the task that we have covered in install windows 7 from USB guide which uses command prompt , we have compiled a list of utilities that help you create a bootable USB in a few minutes.
There might be some paid tools that help to create a bootable USB, but these tools are really helpful as one can create a bootable USB in a few steps. If you miss it, you will have to reboot the system again.
The Recovery Console allows basic file commands like: copy, rename, replace, delete, cd, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, etc. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. Is it possible to create a bootable CD emergency repair disc for XP? The issue is CD vs floppy 1. Since my amateur perception is that most newer PCs don't have floppy drives, I'm confused about why CD-based repairs aren't covered by Microsoft??
This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread. I have the same question Report abuse. Some manufacturers provide you with the device drivers for your system on a CD that comes with your system. Others require you to go to their website and download these drivers. Whichever the case may be, make sure you have all your drivers handy before you start.
Do not leave them on your hard disk, since your clean installation of Windows will probably wipe out everything on your hard disk. If your computer has SATA, IDE, SCSI or other mass storage devices for your hard disks that the Windows installer does not recognize out of the box, you will need to create a floppy disk with the drivers for that device.
At the appropriate time, when Windows prompts you to hit F6 to load the drivers from a floppy disk, you will need to so. This is however outside the scope of this tutorial.
If your manufacturer has not provided you with any device drivers, or if you have lost the drivers CD or DVD that the vendor has provided you, all is not lost. You can try using a device driver backup program to extract the existing drivers on your currently running system. You can get a device driver backup program from the Free Device Driver Backup and Extraction Utilities page on thefreecountry.
In such cases, you need the manufacturers' textmode drivers which the driver backup utility will not recreate. You can of course use other software, but since it is difficult for me to write a tutorial that covers every possible burning software around, this guide will assume that you are using ImgBurn.
Since the software is available free of charge, I doubt that this choice will pose significant hardship for anyone. The easiest way to get this is to download the file wxp In fact, you should do this now.
Download the file and save it on your desktop. You will need the file later. Update : the site mentioned in the previous paragraph is no longer available, and I don't know any reliable alternative locations that provide it. I would also strongly suggest that you make a backup image of your entire system before you reinstall it.
By entire system, I mean the whole system and not just your data. This is important in case there is some glitch in your installation or some fault in the setup CD that you create, resulting in an unusable system. In such a situation, you will be able to restore your working system from your backup image.
If you are not sure what a backup image is, or think that I'm only talking about saving your documents to another location, or worse, think that "image" refers to some sort of picture, please do not carry on with this procedure. If you are tinkering with your system, you owe it to yourself and your sanity to get a good hard disk image backup program.
It is possible that it does not work - for example, if your vendor has deleted some essential file in the I folder which we will need , your installation may well fail at some crucial point after it has formatted your hard disk! It is also possible that my procedure will not work on your system, or that I made some mistake in describing it here.
So do it all at your own risk. And make sure you have an up-to-date backup of your system that you know works. Actually, you can name it anything you want and put it anywhere you like, but for ease of explanation, the remainder of the steps below will assume that you have created the XPSETUP folder in the root of drive C:.
Notice that I said "copy", not "move". It is important to work from a copy of the I directory so that if you make mistakes, you can simply go back and start all over again. If you move the directory or drag and drop it, and you make a mistake, your mistake will be permanent. It may take a while for the copy operation to complete, but it's safer this way. If you're not sure how to copy, follow the following procedure: Highlight the I folder using Windows Explorer.
Right-click the folder and select "Copy". The folder should be empty at the moment. Right click the empty space in the window and click "Paste". A very lengthy copy procedure will take place. To verify that you have copied the folder and not moved it, return to the top of C: and check that the I folder is still there and that the original files in that folder are still there.
Create an ASCII text file with only the word "Windows " without the quotes and including the final space after the word "Windows" in it, followed by a new line. To do this, open up Notepad. Type the word "Windows" without the quotes and following my case exactly that is, "W" is a capital letter and the rest are in small letters.
