    After updating all XP files Apr 8, I defragged complete Then ran a registry defrag

    power outage crashed my system after defrag but before restart.



    F8 does not access safe mode, or other commands.



    can reach repair at C;\windows but can onlyaccess limited functions typing. such as: COMMANDS that are lised such as copy, mbr,etc...



    ran chkdsk /p, but no other commands.



    this is second PC, can access from internet, for downloading, etc... but that system is Vista.



    Thanks in advance I realize this is a big one. Prompt Replies.



    I have been using this 2nd system for all major backups,as well.

    Are you able to access and get those backups on to another hard drive like one connected via USB? It seems that the registry hive(s) became corrupted by the power outage and you'll have to re-install XP

    If you had redundant backups, including at least one for the XP drive, it would have been a simple matter to restore it. Then you'd only have the last few security updates to deal with.

    I have access to another pc (vista w/ internet connection), but no restore files.
    my repair disc, only allows me to access C:\windows\system32 and only tools such as command prompts like, chkdsk, mbr, fdisk., etc..

    canot change directories or do anything elese.
