The recovery disk is missing, it's a friends laptop.
Windows XP cd will NOT repair because it is asking for an administrator password.
Windows is corrupt! Several missing files, explorer.exe is completely missing from what I see. Windows starts up and all I can access is Task manager, which is very limited to do things in.
sfc /scannow does not work
it's shelled properly from what i see (shell in registry)
Is there a recovery shortcut? Tried holding F10, F11, and Zero '0' while booting....
Administrator password tools seem helpless, and do not want to pay.
Currently backing up files using a 2GB SD card, but I'd really like to install/fix windows xp WITHOUT losing data.
Does a partition work without losing data? what is a good free file to do this with?
let me know options please, give me a couple because i'm trying alot currently!
thanks
