Classic skills: all problems can be solved without reinstalling XP system (2)

3. System restore shows hands

If you use sfc/scannow or something wrong, you may want to use the system restore function to restore the system. This method is especially convenient when there is a system failure after adding or deleting certain software.

Click "Start → All Programs → Accessories → System Tools → System Restore", run the "System Restore" command, open the "System Restore Wizard", select "Restore my computer to an earlier time" ", click "Next", select the date and then follow the wizard to restore.

The system restore function mentioned above is operated in Windows XP. If you cannot enter Windows XP system, you can solve it by the following methods:

(1) Safe Mode Run System Restore

If Windows XP can enter safe mode, you can perform system recovery in safe mode, the same steps as "restore restore point".

(2) DOS mode for system restore

If the system can not enter safe mode, press F8 at startup, select "Safe Mode with Command Prompt", log in as administrator, enter %systemroot% \\windows\\system32\ estore directory, find the rstrui file, run the rstrui file directly, follow the prompts.

(3) System Restore in the Case of Missing Restore Point

The System Volume Information folder is preset in Windows XP and is usually hidden. It saves the backup information of the system restore. Open the "Show all files and folders" property and select "Unlock hidden protected system files". You will see the "System Volume Information" folder on each disk. Use this folder for data recovery. Right click on "My Computer", select "Properties" /"System Restore", uncheck the "Turn off System Restore on all drives" check box, and click the "Apply" button. This is done to rebuild a restore point. Then open the "System Restore" command, you can find the lost restore point.

The above description is for FAT32 partitions. If the system partition is NTFS, you will have some trouble starting the System Volume Information folder. Because you may not have been added to the System Volume Information security properties, you will not be able to access the file. Right click on the folder, select "Properties" in the pop-up menu, open the System Volume Information Properties dialog box, select the "Security" tab, click the "Add" button, open the "Select User or Group" window, click on the In the lower right corner of the window, click the "Advanced" button, then click the "Find Now" button, then all the users and groups on the computer will be listed, select the name of the current account or the group where the account is located, and then "OK". The selected account is added to the System Volume Information security properties and the folder is accessible.

Second, in the DOS environment

If the computer has not been able to enter WindowsXP, then do not have to worry about reinstalling the system, because there are still some methods.

1.Safe Mode

Press F8 when Windows XP starts, select “Safe Mode”. If it can be started successfully, it will exit normally and then start normally.

2. The last correct configuration

The basic operation is the same as the safe mode, but it should be noted that before selecting the carriage return, make sure to turn off the NumLock indicator on the keyboard
