Now I want to make a repair installation on my C (some 4kB of data was corrupt and I couldn't login). Only problem is my built-in DVD-Rom player suddenly can't read my installation CD any more; and my bios doesn't support USB. So I can't install the OS from boot directly on the C partition. When I put the installation CD however in an external DVD drive that I access from within my E there's no problem starting the XP setup installation. However can I overinstall (repair) my damaged C partition from within my E partition ? Will this work ? Which steps should I choose to make the repair on the C partition from within the active E partition ?
