Windows registry:

The registry forms a vital part in Windows based computers. It stores important information for Windows which is required by the operating system while executing programs. Windows scans the registry each time it looks for relevant data. With the use of your PC, errors such as obsolete data, invalid information, incomplete, corrupted and redundant entries start to build up in the registry. With this, the size of the registry increases. Windows takes more and more time to scan the registry and your computer starts to run slow. Microsoft Windows repair can help you remove errors from your registry system and keeps your computer performing normally.

With the build-up of errors, there is often conflicting information. At that point your Windows operating system cannot decide which data to retrieve and your computer hangs. At some point your computer would fail to boot which then becomes a serious problem. You may have to re-format your hard drive and re-install your Windows operating system. If you do not have the current back-up of your data, you will lose it all. Microsoft Windows repair can take care of several Windows problems and errors which develop in the registry. The errors must be removed from time to time in order to keep your computer functioning normally.

The recovery console can be found in your Windows XP CD which has been provided by Microsoft. As the CD loads in your computer, the set-up will eventually display a “Welcome to Setup” screen. You need to follow the instructions on your screen, and may even need your administrative password to proceed further with the repair.

In using the recovery console, you need to know a few things, which include:

- Knowing your administrative password. - You need to have some experience using MS-DOS before you start to run the recovery console. - The directories available to you are the root directory and the Microsoft Windows or Winnt directory. No other directory will be available to you. - You will not be able to copy information from one hard drive to the other since you will not have access to your main drive. You will only have access to your floppy drives, CD-ROM drives and other disk drives, and you will be able to copy information from one of these drives to the other.
