There are several methods for fixing the Windows XP operating system. This usually requires an installation disc or LiveCD, but sometimes you can do without any utilities.

Windows XP installation disc
Instructions
Step 1
If your computer freezes while loading the operating system, try using standard methods to restore it to working condition. Restart your computer and press F8 after the hard drive starts booting. A menu will appear containing several options for continuing to start the OS.
Step 2
Select Last Known Good Configuration. After activating it, the changes that may have affected the system's performance will be canceled. If in this way it was not possible to restore the working state of Windows XP, then restart the computer again and open the above menu.
Step 3
Select "Safe Mode". If the computer successfully starts the operating system in safe mode, follow the recovery process. Open the Start menu and expand the All Programs menu. Now open the "System" submenu located in the "Accessories" menu. Select "System Restore".
Step 4
Now select the control point based on the date it was created. Click the "Restore" button and wait for this process to complete. Restart your computer and start the Windows XP operating system normally.
Step 5
If the reason for the inability to start the OS is a failure of the boot sector, then restart the computer after inserting the Windows XP installation disc into the drive. Wait for the first menu containing three items to appear. Press the R key to go to the System Restore Console.
Step 6
After a while, a menu will open in which you will be asked to select a system to boot. If only Windows XP is installed on this hard disk, then press the number 1 and the Enter key. On the next line, type fixboot and press Enter. Now press the Y and Enter keys. Restart your computer after the message "New boot sector was written successfully" appears.
