i accidentally deleted some windows files. Which DOS command repairs it.

[Dan]

Hey guys,
I accidentally some windows files so i can no longer log
on. I get into the recovery console and press "r" for
repair. Except i dont know which DOS command to type in to
repair windows so i can boot up. There are a few commands
might be it: "bootfix" "fixmbr" and "bootcfg". Any input
is greatly appreciated.

I assume you entered the Recovery Console via the XP CD. If so, restart
and select "install" instead of "repair". After a point, the CD will ask
if you want to repair a current installation or install a new one.

Choose to repair your existing Windows installation. Let the installer
run to completion and reboot. Windows should be fixed (except that you
will need to reinstall updates) and your files should remain intact.
