To Law -- Thanks for that, I'll print it off and put the programs on a disc and try it on the computer I'm having trouble with as soon as possible (maybe tonight, because it's not really my computer, but a friend's). To havock -- Hah, yes, I already knew. 'Just sharing that AOL and IE were...

To Ethereal -- Yes, I know Firefox is better and that's what I use all the time on my main computer right here (the one I'm using right now, as well), but I really just wanted everything to be working the way it's supposed to ... having crippled programs just doesn't sound complete. To Law --...

This just happened recently and I haven't changed any immediate settings that should make this occur so I'm fairly stumped. I use AOL, dial-up to be exact. I also have two other browsers beside AOL ... Internet Explorer & Mozilla Firefox. Something mysterious has occurred on AOL & Internet...

Eh, slightly too late I looked at it. It probably might've worked, but I went ahead on the destructive recov. after debating w/ myself for a few hours. As we speak, it's 60% done with 12 min. left, and I don't think it's safe to shut this down and try the Ultimate Boot CD at this time in the...

Not quite yet, Wombat. I fugured out that if I set the top piority to be CD-ROM and second priority to be Harddrive, and then run command prompt and copy the files, along with chkdsk, onto a floppy, and than use Nero to burn a .ISO file, and then tap 'F8' as it loads, I can do te single-stepping...

Well, good-and-bad-news. Good news, made it a helluva lot farther than before. Bad news, I believe my floppy drive is mounted into this comp., and I can't run out an buy one right now, so I used the FAQ that you gave me and went through Command Prompt and copied the files to the floppy, and then...

Thanks a lot, Wombat, that SERIOUSLY looks like it's gonna help. I just gotta make the disk, take my floppy drive out of this comp. and install it to the other, pop it in, and attempt to restore ... And if I can't manage how to get the flopyy drive to the other comp., I have a few tricky ways...

Just a question, I have a Windows 95 Install CD and two Windows 98 Install CDs, and, not to restore, is there anyway I could trick through to command prompt or the system recovery console through that route??? Thanks to everybody, again, or in advance. --Raftacon

What?!? Of course I'm here, I haven't gotten a question answered yet! Yes, the PC I'm typing on is working. "Do the same for the cripple one as I learned for this one ..." ... this one never had a problem! Build a custom PC? I don't HAVE thousands to spend on creating my own PC, which is why I...

xD I knew you had been losing me somewhere in your previous posts, just couldn't put my finger on it ... ! =P And is the 'no help' do to the fact I don't have install disks or no floppy disk drive? If it's the floppy drive, I can just try to switch it from the comp. I'm using right now to the...

Nice, but, you see, I don't have Windows XP Install Disks, it came on the computer pre-installed setup; all I have are own-made Recovery Disks that don't do anything, even I go 'Esc' and boot from the the CD, even if I did 'F1' to the BIOS Setup Utility and changed the first setting from Hard...

Alright, new question here for everybody who's willing to help; with all of the above conditions listed throughout my original post and updates in posts below it, is there any possible way on Earth to get the the Command Prompt? I'll figure out what to do from there.

Re: Hmmm If you read the first post, you'd know the whole deal that XP goes to the loading scr-- ... just read the first post. -_-;;;

** Nice tip, Wombat, but I can't reach any other screens not mentioned in the first post, and the blue screen with the UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT error screen. =P **
