After some malware made Windows unstartabele, and after running
anti-virus programs and its deleting some files, I have a damaged
version of WinXPSP3 on my HP Mini 1000 netbook (1030NR, to be exact).
I have the Operating System CD that came with the computer, also for
XPSP3. And I also have a USB CD drive and can boot from the USB port.
(I also have the application and driver DVD that came with the
computer, fwiw.)
Is it possible with this CD to reinstall Windows *OVER* the
installation that is there, in order to retain user files and
settings?
Most software can be reinstalled like this, but I don't remember the
what works in this particular case.
If I can, how do I do it?
Thanks.
BTW, the ony message I get refers to svchost.exe, something about the
memory could not be "written". I can't read my handwriting but I'll
go find it again word-for-word if it will help.
