If you are seeing a quick flash of a blue screen of death BSOD after adding your , then I would do this: What is your system make and model? If your system used to work properly, what do you think might have happened to it since the last time it did work properly?
If there is a problem booting, XP is configured to automatically try to boot again and you can get stuck in a loop of just being unable to get past the boot options screen or none of the boot options you choose will work. For more information, see Create installation media for Windows. The Startup Repair tool generates a log file to help you understand the startup problems and the repairs that were made.
You can find the log file in the following location:. For more information, see A Stop error occurs, or the computer stops responding when you try to start Windows Vista or Windows 7. If the corruption in the MBR affects the partition table, running Fixmbr may not fix the problem. If methods 1, 2 and 3 do not fix the problem, replace the Bootmgr file from drive C to the System Reserved partition.
To do this, follow these steps:. If Windows cannot load the system registry hive into memory, you must restore the system hive.
If the problem persists, you may want to restore the system state backup to an alternative location, and then retrieve the registry hives to be replaced. Starting in Windows 10, version , Windows no longer automatically backs up the system registry to the RegBack folder. This change is by design, and is intended to help reduce the overall disk footprint size of Windows. To recover a system with a corrupt registry hive, Microsoft recommends that you use a system restore point.

Instead, it prefered to stick to old-school DVD media, despite the fact that many notebooks today are too small to even include an optical drive, and many DIYers are building PCs which forego one on purpose. However, things have moved on, and for the first time, Microsoft has begun to sell Windows 10 on pre-configured USB drives. Previous versions of the OS XP, 7 and 8.
Creating a bootable Windows USB drive used to be a chore, but today, one solution can pretty-well suit most people. However, there are times when a flash drive has some quirk that prevents it from working with a particular solution, so for that reason, this article takes a look at five different methods.
Even if the target desktop or notebook has an optical drive, there are a couple of reasons to consider first creating a USB-based installer.
Admittedly, the time and effort of creating the drive might make it best-suited for system builders, but for people like us, who juggle test machines, USB is a no-brainer. To start, USB media is more durable than disc-based media. Discs can be easily scratched, while well-built USB flash drives can generally handle a bit of abuse. Ever walk around with a disc in your pocket? It looks a bit odd. To give an overview of what to expect from each solution, refer to this success table:.
