Rebuild XP With A Click!

XP's little-known "Rebuild" command lets you fix "Missing HAL.DLL," "Invalid Boot.Ini," "Windows could not start..." and similar messages in literally just a minute or two. It can potentially save you hours and hours of manual reinstall/rebuilding of a failed OS!

I'm mentioning this now because of our recent coverage of disk swaps and
other activities; which have caused a number of your fellow readers to
run into exactly this kind of trouble.

But even if you've escaped problems like this so far, it's worth knowing
about for possible future need.

A full "rebuild" command how-to (it's easy!), including the full method and shortcut
versions, is now posted, free, at:
