On Aug 6, 2004 - Someone in this forum posted this WinXP Critical Error Fixes

There he explain how to make some environment using PE Builder Tool
I think thats my only way to fix my problem but i can't understand the way he
explain on how to create this ISOImage using his zip files with PE Builder
If someone have ever done this before i will apreciate any help on how to make it.

I did step by step following his instrucction, but some how don't work for me
PE Builder,WinISO,RegFix.zip... I download all the files but still can't do it.

Than You For You Time

You can use Recovery Console to do this repair:

Just fixed one this week with the same problem as yours. One outher recommendation I would run chkdsk /r from the repair concel. There is a reason for the damage system file, I would check the HD for Errors before trying to start the repair.

After spending 20+ hrs. building debuging Bert Pe and updateing ever couple weeks I foud this UBCD4WIN.COM if you down load there two files and Bert Pe Build files you can build a good start Utilty in a couple hrs. a big help. You can then add outher plug ins to there unility later.

mzdos,

Source = CD Drive with the XP CD in it (D: for example). It can also mean the location of the I386 folder if you are not building from a CD but have the source files on the Hard Drive.

Custom = Any extra files or folders you want to have access to in Bartpe (can be left blank).
