Recovery Console Without DVD, CD or Floppy...

[thomasanthonyford]

My Windows partition contains many errors which need sorting, however
i no longer have the setup CD that came with the pc nor does my pc
have a floppy disk drive. I cant access windows due to the corrupted
partition however i can access the linux partition i have set up. Is
there anyway i can either
fix the problem from inside linux
or
download copy of the recovery colsole, burn to a cdrom and run it from
boot
or
download some software that will allow me to (from boot) access a file
on the corrupted c:\ drive and move it to a safe partition where i can
put it on a cd and then just entirly reinstall the entire system?

Thanks in advance..
Tom

Download Bart's PE Builder from http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/ create a
bootable XP CD with it and then boot your problem computer with that
CD.

Good luck
