Resolved XP Total Corruption

I just started Windows XP again to see what the other function keys would do. Windows started; but a white warning box on the login screen said that my profile was either corrupted or without security rights. So, it loaded a temporary profile. Now it is loading settings for Microsoft Outlook, a program I do not use.

 

Until I find my misplaced Windows Recovery CD, the one that restores it as the computer came from the factory, I will explore my Lazesoft Recovery Disc.

 

The recent private message caused me to try to bring up my XP in Safe Mode to see if I could run the Windows Repair that I burned to disc on my Windows 7. I made the disc following the guide at the beginning of this thread. However, I could not login. Where it is supposed to load personal settings after entering the password, my XP displays boxes which state at the top "Delayed Write Failed." Is there a way to burn this Windows Repair so that it starts from the disc when I power the computer up? Will it work with the .exe file burned as an .iso?

 

I cannot start my computer at all. Even after restoring BIOS to defaults, Windows will not boot in either Safe Mode or the full Windows. All I can do is a clean install, considering the text files gone.

 

Thumb drives are cheap and good in this situation for backups. You save yourself a lot of headaches.
