Have you reinstall Windows? Those who are faced with this, knows how much time it takes to install the necessary driver software and configure the system. But if advance care, restoring full working system will not take more than half an hour.

ASR (Automated System Recovery) - a mechanism to restore all of the information system partition in the event of a serious malfunction when other methods of rehabilitation can no longer help. ASR replaced mechanism ERD (Emergency Repair Disk), which was used in previous versions of Windows. Unlike ERD, only system configuration, ASR is able to restore the entire system partition, including software drivers, user documentation, system configuration at the time of recruitment ASR.

Create a ASR. In order to seize the opportunity mechanism ASR, it is necessary to create a set of ASR, consisting of 2 - x parts: directly with the data archive, which can be placed on a recordable CD, tape, nesistemnom hard drive or another hard disk and floppy disks, which are written data needed to fix the system. ASR can create sets of users with administrative rights.
To create a set of ASR, start the "Archival data" ( "Start - All programs - Standard - Service - archiving data or from the menu dial ntbackup.exe" Start - Run "). Go to the advanced mode. By default, not all of the files included in the archive created. Therefore, prior to the creation of ASR is set to see a list of excluded files. First, go to the "Tools - Options - Excluding files." By default, this list are: swap file (pagefile.sys), a file created using a sleeping mode (hiberfil.sys), milestones recovery, temporary files, and some log files. But depending on the specific software and the changes earlier this list may be greater than or less. For example, when the Norton Antivirus to the list of excluded files base hits descriptions of viruses, and if you have to rebuild the system, or to download a new base descriptions of the Internet, or reinstall Norton Antivirus. Carefully check the whole list, if necessary, make changes to it. After that, you can start preparing a master disaster recovery to create a set of ASR - select "Tools - Master disaster recovery system." Enter the path for creating archives. Do not publish as a way of a system partition your hard drive. After gathering the necessary information to begin the process of archiving. If you place an archive to hard disk with the FAT32 file system, look at the information bar "was expected bytes" - if size for the archive estimated more than 4 GB should abandon their archiving, and to reduce the size of the archive by deleting the name of some files Journal , which can be saved in a separate archive, or else the establishment of a set of ASR is not completed properly. Then again start preparing a master disaster recovery. After creating the archive you will be prompted to insert a floppy disk to record her recovery parameters. At the creation of a set of ASR completed.

Rebuilding the system through a set of ASR. To restore a system would set ASR (archive + diskette), and Windows XP boot disk. Boot through the boot drive, choose to install Windows XP. When a row in the state of invitations, press F2 - the "Insert disk called Disk automatic restoration of Windows in the floppy drive." After reading from a floppy disk to restore data and downloads the main driver will be made formatting system partition and the initial installation of Windows XP. Next, the wizard will be launched disaster recovery system and production files from the archive restoration of a set of ASR. After the restoration of files will be made reboot, and you have a Windows XP with all the software installed, documents and system settings at the time of recruitment ASR.
Use System Restore using ASR only if other methods of rehabilitation, such as rebuilding funds console or download the latest successful configuration can not help if the key is lost access to the system established by the program syskey or a serious setback in the file system. Remember that restores the state machinery ASR system partition at the time of recruitment ASR, all changes made to the system after the creation of a set of ASR, will be lost.
