Sometimes you feel like reinstalling windows Xp, but you think of all the softwares and application installed on your computer. You will then be required to reinstall all of them.

Now there is a way to reinstall windows Xp, where in you can keep all the installed application and all the personal settings. Its simple and easy, just follow these steps.

Before moving ahead, make sure that CD-Rom in NOT your first boot device.

1. Login to Xp and Insert you Windows Xp disk in your drive.

2. Go to Command Prompt, and go to the drive(eg:- d:> assuming D is your CD drive.)

3. Then go to i386 folder(d:/i386>) and then type in the command prompt “WINNT32 /unattendâ€.

4. You will then see a setup starts running, which reinstalls the Windows on your computer, without harnessing your installed application and settings, and the too in unattended mode.

Thanks for the tip JSKY.

I was desperately looking for an in-place upgrade because of an incomplete registry (eg., system restore is disabled). But this gave an error message during the installation: "cannot copy a file blah, blah...retry or cancel".

The CD I used is win XP with SP3 slipstreamed.

Many thanks.
