Quickly make a bootable UBCD. Ultimate Boot CD from USB. Feb 01, 2016 Hello Terran0925, the repair option to boot to the cd is no longer an option due to the changes in setup for Windows Server 2008. Since it uses a image.

I just recently acquired a fairly old PC that was running Windows 98. I figured I'd take a little nostalgia trip and install Windows 95 on it. Windows 98 would not let me install and older version, so I formatted the drive with the intention of doing a fresh install of 95. In my stupidity, I had forgotten that the Windows 95 CD was not a boot-able disc, and that the initial boot was done with floppy. The computer doesn't have a floppy drive, so the original boot disc is of no help.

The format erased the CD-ROM drivers, so the only thing that runs are boot-able CDs with drivers already on them. I have found a couple of places on the net that offer boot-able Windows 95 CDs, but every one I have come across is not offering disc images, but rather self-extracting.exe files. This is also no help to me because none of my other computers are currently running Windows. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hello Terran0925, the repair option to boot to the cd is no longer an option due to the changes in setup for Windows Server 2008. Since it uses a image based deployment option, the file by file copy method is no longer available. You can boot to the Windows Server 2008 and choose the repair in the lower left hand corner of the screen. This should open a CMD prompt. From here you can run sfc and use the offline options, /OFFBOOTDIR For offline repair specify the location of the offline boot directory /OFFWINDIR For offline repair specify the location of the offline windows directory This repairs the boot files, allowing you to boot back into the OS, if you are still having issues you could try doing an upgrade with the media then.

It certainly does not - that is merely the startup repair function similar to the fixboot, fixmbr commands of old (though a little extended to be fair) No point in looking - there is NO ability to repair Server 2008 or higher OSes any more.

K Balachander Sahana Serial. A massive setback for network administrators. As bad as the fact that you can no longer slipstream hotfixes into Outlook etc., but instead you put them in an 'updates' folder that installs Office SP0 and then installs SP1 or 2 on top. Bizarre, your Office install now takes twice as long. Some day Microsoft will need to think of the guys on sites who actually have to care for/install their products. - This coming from a Microsoft fan-boy, btw. (you'll know that I'm a fan-boy as I haven't mentioned the train-wreck that was DPM 2007 (for anyone using it, jump to DPM 2010 RC quick)).

Select Repair option Select CMD CD into recovery Type Dir Run the StartRep.exe command in the list. That should do a basic repair to the OS. The instructions above also saved me.Thanks a lot Chaoticflyer. I'm getting some funky problems relating to SCCM2007 (specifically, the Management Point role) not seeing/communicating with WebDAV even though I have confirmed that WebDAV is configured correctrly for SCCM. I am not saying that this is definitely a problem on the OS level, but the thought is beginning to cross my mind. Would this approach possibly work for me as well?

How would it affect any roles/applications that are already set up on the server (like IIS, SQL server, DHCP, AD, WDS, whatever)? Would you need to run the repair on a 'vanilla' install so as to not foul up roles or back-end apps that are already on the server?
