I just bought the norton anti virus but i need to run a system repair how do i do that?

Answer 1

With Norton you wont need to. It will make your computer coome to a screeching halt! Return the Norton for you money back and purchase AVG Internet Security Suite.

Answer 2

USING THE WINDOWS REPAIR CONSOLE

Put your XP disk into your CD drive and restart your system. This will start the XP installation process. When you come to the screen that asks if you want to install XP or if you would like to “Repair” XP, choose Repair. This will open the repair console command prompt. At the prompt, type: chkdsk /r. (There is a space between the k and the /. Now hit “Enter”. The repair should now start. Allow it to run until it stops. This can take some time, so be patient.

If all goes well, XP will replace any and all missing operating system files.
----------------------------------

But why would you want to run Norton, it is a resource hog and will slow down your computer. There a many very good "free" anti virus and anti spywary programs on the web. Here are a few that I use on a daily bases.

All of the following are free.
