How to repair Windows XP by commands?
Hello Master,
When you have got to repair the Win XP commands and you want to do it from the command line, then you will definitely have to use the CHKDSK commands. I think the procedure you have outlined above points out clearly what needs to be done in order to execute those commands.

There is a step by step procedure to repair Windows XP.
