My XP is on NTFS. What boot utility will allow access to my C drive? I have same problem like the others here.
Thanks

The recovery console is available from booting from a retail or OEM version of Windows XP (Restore discs don`t count).
You can install the Recovery console by running from the XP CD:
d:\i386\winnt32.exe /cmdcons
If you have a FAT32 volume, any normal DOS or Win98 boot disk will do.
If you have NTFS then you need to boot from a utility to give you r/w access to your C: drive.
To replace userinit.exe:
1. Boot using Recovery console (or other cmd prompt with access to C: drive)
2. CD Windows\System32
3. Expand d:\i386\userinit.ex_ userinit.exe (or Copy d:\i386\userinit.ex_ userinit.exe) where d: is CDROM drive and need to expand compressed file to full file.
4. type Exit to reboot
