Win XP Home on a Compaq Persario setup with 2 partions as
it came from the Factory C: Drive & D: Drive
Windows XP Home Edition, Tried to install SP2, Did not
work~ First computer was coming up with blue screen saying
it was missing Winsrv, Did a repair now PC comes up with a
Virtual Mem error & keeps rebooting. I did the repair 2
times & still error keeps coming up. I have no way to
access PC, Tried safe mode, Setup disk they come up with a
Dos error. It's a Compaq Presario Desktop if that helps
about a year old. I even put another drive in the PC with
Win98 on it...Booted up & was able to see the XP drive
however the drive is in 2 part ions & its only showing the
contents of what is the D: Drive & not the C:\windows XP ~
I did this so I could copy all the pictures of my kids &
docs etc & re image it. I know the C:windows XP is still
there because when I do the repair it let me choose it but
is there any other way I can get the PC to boot up & is
there any reason why I could not see the entire drive when
I set it as a secondary drive.
