Have you tried “Last Known Good” to see if this works?   Has anything changed on the PC that could have caused the problem maybe a driver deleted or updated?   The recovery console is quite good and worth an attempt.     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Caple, Andrew Sent: 01 December 2004 22:57 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] Windows XP Automated System Recovery Disk   Good morning everyone,   (What a great way to start the day) One of our "important" PC has died over night (the computer turns on and goes to the Windows Screen and then reboots - this happen over and over again) and I now need to do a recovery on it, quick question in regards to the Windows XP recovery process. Has anyone ever used the recovery console to bring a machine backup?   I jumped onto the internet to see what I could find and I found an article that mentions typing in: "disable mup" at the command line (after selecting the recovery option). However the message i got back mentioned that the registry had be come to corrupt.   My next option is to try and create a Automated System recovery disk - if found the process on the MS website (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;299526) however I'm not sure if it's machine specific. Am I able to go to a desktop that works and then create the recovery disk and then take this to the machine that's crashed?   Any help would be appreciated.   Cheers, Andrew
