Remeber why you back up? Remember those handy programs got ON your computer somehow. Keep your installation discs handy (you WILL need them!)
Or, don’t learn anything and transfer your frustration on a Technician that couldn’t save your data after the fact (a popular choice I assure you)Ģ.

Learn how to back up important documents or learn how to cry. The answer should be learn how to steer and maintain yer boat! The true golden rules are as such:Īnything that can go wrong will go wrong. The answer shouldn’t be patch up the sunk ship. Find the duct tape and you’re handywork is bound to break open again. Did it fail after the video drivers were installed? Did it fail after M$ Office was reinstalled? Find the cause and you’re closer to the cure.

A fresh install can help deduce the true cause of failure by bring things down to basics: adding software and settings one by one until success or a reproducable failure is gleaned. No thanks! I’d take a back up of my files and a fresh install ANY day. “Repairing” Windows only masks the underlying problem – you’re still left with working but damaged goods. In any of these situations Windows crashed for a *very* important reason. Of course, program conflicts and corruption are star players as well. Usually XP blows itself up with a M$ “fix” or malware or a hardware failure. BWAHAHAHAH!!! Who has ever run Windows reliably “for years”? Especially XP which has only been out for three years… The funny part of the article is the first couple of sentences where he lays out the scenario where Windows is running fine “for years” and then suddenly fails. The main advantage is you’re actually running the Windows XP kernel and can access NTFS partitions natively. This is a good tool depending on what utilities you can add to it. Captive can do anything with NTFS files because it is using the native Windows drivers.īart’s PE is also mentioned in the article. The default Linux NTFS utilities can read and can overwrite NTFS files with the same file, but cannot create new files or extend old ones reliably. The Captive utility uses the native Windows NTFS driver to access NTFS partitions. Well, you can if you use the Captive utility which IIRC is included in the last couple of versions of Knoppix. He also suggests using OpenOffice as a text editor to edit config files – when Knoppix supplies the usual Linux text editors which are much better suited for this.Īs for access to NTFS partitions, he says that Knoppix can’t write to them. Unfortunately, the idiot keeps referring to the Konqueror browser as “Conqueror”…
