Today I accidentally ran a phone crack in normal mode on a machine with a 2000/XP dual-boot system. As a result, the system said files had been modified, and for system stability it asked me to insert the XP CD-ROM to repair them, but I don't have it. (After the changes, when I tried to upgrade to SP1 online, it said the language was wrong and couldn't upgrade.) I downloaded an XP from the Internet and used Optimization Master to change the installation disc path, but it would only take effect after a reboot. After rebooting, everything was ruined! IE was gone, dial-up couldn't be installed, and a lot of software was all messed up!
There was no other way. Even if a system like that could be repaired, it probably wouldn't be stable, so I reinstalled it. Since I couldn't get into DOS, I installed only from within XP (I had no installation disc, only the files). As a result, there was no way to format the hard drive midway, so another XP appeared on drive C, and there are actually two XPs in BOOT. Dizzy!
Right now I don't have a bootable CD or floppy. I want to know how I can get into pure DOS. I want to install XP from DOS, so that way I can format drive C. Thanks, everyone, please give me some advice!
