There's a small checkbox on the dialog box that appears for that purpose.

I'm not sure if you've resolved your problem, so in case you haven't...

It appears my post (see below) didn't make it to the newsgroup - at least I
haven't seen it there. So for what it's worth I'm resending.

Subject: Re: hard drive refuses to boot after XP re-install

Dan:
In virtually every case following a motherboard change a Repair install of
the XP OS is necessary. In a few cases the system will boot without the need
for a Repair install of the OS but that's not the usual scenario.

We're assuming in all this that you've correctly assembled your components,
i.e., the motherboard and processor (and whatever other components you
might have changed) and that your connections & configuration of all those
components are proper. And you've checked that, right? And, of course, we're
dealing with non-defective components. And, of course, you've checked your
motherboard's BIOS to ensure there are no selected options that might be
causing or impacting on the problem(s) you're experiencing?

Since you've deleted the HDD partitions on your boot drive a Repair install
of the OS isn't viable any longer. Is that not so? So you presumably need to
fresh install the OS which apparently you've tried without success. At least
I *think* that's what you've attempted. So I don't understand your reference
to Recovery console commands. If there's no OS on the HDD what is the
purpose of your invoking Recovery console commands?

But as I review your post perhaps I misunderstand you. Are you indicating
that you apparently *were* able to fresh install XP onto your HDD, i.e., the
installation process proceeded without incident and seemed to come to a
successful conclusion, but at the end it just wouldn't boot?

It would seem that if you did indeed delete your boot HDD partitions, all
your data is gone. I assume you know that. That was (is?) not a problem? You
have a backup HDD?

Again, assuming (as it appears) that we're now talking about a fresh install
of the OS you need only your XP installation CD to accomplish this. There is
no need for a third-party program such as the MaxBLAST one to
partition/format your HDD. Indeed we recommend against the use of those
programs regardless of whether the HDD involved is from that manufacturer.

Anyway, maybe the bottom line in all this is to simply start over. Just try
another fresh install of the OS and see how it goes making sure you delete
whatever partitions have been created. And use only your XP installation CD
to do so. Might help if you have another HDD to use as well.

Windows XP >> "Open File - Security Warning" Jon,

No, there was no check box.

But there was this hyperlink: "What's the risk?"

Any suggestions?
