System Restore with UBCD4win
Restoring Windows XP
from a CD can be done many ways.
Two other ways have been mentioned on the site. One was how to run
system restore from the command prompt to repair windows/system32/config/system
or software located here:
http://www.icompute.info/System_restore_from_xp_cd.htm
and also how to replace the missing config or software files with Bart's
PE disk (designed from an XP preinstall environment) instructions
located here:
http://icompute.info/restore_with_B_PE_disk.htm
Now there's an even easier way if you can create an ultimate boot cd for
Windows. This handy disk has lots of utilities including a way to do a
system restore with a few mouse clicks instead of using the command
prompt or copying and pasting and then renaming. The GUI (graphic user
interface) used in the UBCD4Win is easy to use and simplifies the
process of doing a system restore from a live cd when you can not get
Windows XP to start.
Here are the instructions to use the registry repair function in the
UBCD4Win disk.
Insert your Ultimate boot disk.
Start your computer making sure that it boots to the CD rom first.
After a few minutes you should see the UBCD version of the Bart's PE
desktop.
Click Start
Click Programs
Click Registry Tools
Click Registry Restore
Wizard
You will see your
choices of operating systems, normally C:\windows. Highlight
your windows version and then click next.
Next you will see a
window with a choice that says "Fix the system registry to that
of a previous state." Make sure that this is selected and
click Next.
Next you will see a
window with a list of your system restore points. If you don't
see anything in this window you have no restore points. If you
have a choice I normally pick second to the last Restore point.
Click Next.
The next window will ask
you to confirm the restore point you have chosen. If it is the
correct restore point then click "Yes"
The next window is a
progress window that tells you that your changes are being made.
When it is complete you should see a list of files that it
replaced. Click on "Finish"
Now click "Start"
Click "Restart and Eject"
The UBCD4Win disk should pop out. Remove the disk and let the computer
restart.
Your computer should start correctly now. If it does not start correctly
go through the process again and try an earlier restore point.
