Systemcrash yesterday

A power outage yesterday made my day.
When we returned from breakfast the PC was off and stayed that way.
While booting i got showed a registry error and the system restarted again.All options in the bootmenue failed to start the system.
I installed XP on another partition and used it to repair the failed partition.That was a lot of work in advance,just to get the idea what's to do next,but avoided at the end fortunately reinstallation of the main operating system.:)
The "repair" XP got thrown out afterwards by formating it's partition.

The Windows integrated feature i used to repair the main os with the as secondly installed XP:

Accessible by right click on the problem partition-Properties-Extras-Check now(Jetzt prüfen).After clicking on "Check now" in a additional dialog can be adjusted to repair the failed partition in the same time.That's what i did and what rescued at the end our installed operating system.:)
Seen afterwards:
The better choice would have been to repair the OS just with the Windows OS disk...
I had only the English version of XP Pro+SP3 burned on disk and thought that might not work with the installed one in German.
Yesterday i learned that any language version of a Windows operating system can be transfered to any language via 8MB kit straight from Microsoft and free to download.
