How to Repair Windows XP for Crash Recovery
A most reliable and speedy way to recover Windows XP from a crash is by way of the System Restore utility feature. It has easy to follow, step-by-step guides that lead you to a selection of available restore points. It is keenly aware of when hard drives are most likely to fail, such as when new software or hardware programs are installed. During these events, it makes a backup copy of the system. You can then zero in on the timeframe of the malfunction and get the computer back in a stable condition before the crash occurred.
