How To ReinstallWindows WithoutLosing Anything

You can use this





method as often as



you like when you



need to repair



something that had



gotten corrupted and



you don't want to do



a clean install.



This is better than



doing a windows



repair install from



the cd because doing



that can cause



changes to settings



and even make it so



you can't get



updates anymore



from microsoft



update site because



of the 'silent install'



they did a year or so



ago (unless you



rereg some dll files).



1- Start WindowsXP



2- Go to the location



of your source files



3- Run WINNT32 /



unattend



For example, D:



I386winnt32 /



unattend ( copy &



paste this command



into the RUN box,



then press ENTER )



Your computer will



do the rest.



OR



Start > All Programs



> Accessories >



Command Prompt.



Copy & paste > D:



I386winnt32 /



unattend (notice the



space between 32



and / )



Press Enter.



If you have i386 on



your drive, you can



replace D: ( if D: is



your cd drive ) with



the location of it. (be



sure it's the full i386



though)



D: is the driver letter



where your windows



XP Cd is if D:



I386winnt32 /



unattend doesn't



work then try : d:



winnt32 /unattend
