[QUOTE="varney, post: 893821, member: 83072"] HI Kash, I tried using the windows disk to see if I could do a System REstore but I'm only given two real options when I get to the Setup Screen- Setup Windows XP or Repair a Windows XP installation using Recovery Console. The first brings up I think three partitions - I only have two - OSX and Windows, but I think one is for some necessary files which Windows creates itself (?). It asks me where I want to install Windows, and as I already have it installed I don't see how to progress. The Repair Console just gives me a message saying "The Recovery Console provides system repair and recovery functionality" and a flashing prompt. I know virtually nothing about DOS commands so I didn't try anything at this point. How do I do a 'Repair Install' - is it in the Recovery Console, and if so what command/s do I use? Many thanks, M.
