My wife's computer is giving her a "corrupt system32" error and is prompting to run a recovery. I haven't used the recovery console in a long time and I'm concerned I'll blow away her data unnecessarily.
When I put her Win XP Pro cd I get a prompt as to which OS I want to repair. I choose "1" as it is the only choice I have.
Do I select "install" and then repair on the next screen or will it be too late to save her data when I select install at the first opportunity? I tried running a "fixmbr" just to see what would happen but I'm getting a blue screen "Driver_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" error.
Any advice?
Thanks
Gary
