In windows xp when the second repair option is not available and your computer doesnt boot up, you usually would just put the windows xp cd and repair right but if the 2nd repair option is not there you only got the format and reinstall to play with as well as the 1st repair via the recovery console.
now usually you cant get the 2nd repair option you can do a recovery console entry and type
bootcfg /rebuild and then restart and try again and it works
but when that doesnt work what do you do
important data can not be lost and dont want to format thats the easy way out
i want the repair option back
any ideas???
Windows XP 2nd Repair Option???internet security software
Does it say why there's no repair option? Is it able to read the partition tables? Because the problem could be a hard drive failure.

If you scroll to the bottom there are a few tricks to try in the case that a Repair isn't an option. Maybe one of them will work for you. As a last ditch effort, try buying a cheap HD, install XP on it, then mount the current drive as a second drive to clean the data off of it.
