Curse

Well lets begin

I used driver sweeper to uninstall nvidia 185 drivers but when I restarted I keep getting a BSOD and a restart 1 second later so I cant read it.

Since I couldnt access the OS that was BSOD'ing I installed a different partition (spelling) now I can access fire fox from the old program files etc but I want to repair the damaged OS so I can use that since it has all my bookmarks ( which is really long) etc pictures.I can play guild wars from the C drive location so that all seems fine.

So is their anyway for me to repair the old OS from the second partition that I made. I'm not comp savvy I don't know dos commands / repair commands. I really want my documents from the old partition

Any Help is appreciated.

the BSOD messages is

*** STOP : 0X0000007E C0XC0000005 0XF6C0C174 0FX7A32D3C 0XF7A32A38

if that helps

When booting your system, hit F8 a few times after the initial POST screen.
will bring up the windows startup list (safemode, command prompt, etc)
go down to "Disable automatic restart on system failure"
This will halt the system at the BSOD and you can see what is causing the fault.
What the bug check code says will determine how you would go about fixing it.

If its something like "unmountable boot volume" or "IRQ_not_less_or_Equal"
then you can do a chkdsk at the recovery console which should get you back up
and running. Assuming you are running windows XP, Boot off your windows CD
at the first screen you get to Hit enter to install windows, and at the second screen
hit R to repair via recovery console.It will ask you which installation of windows you
want to log on to, and prompt for administrator password.
At the command prompt type "chkdsk /r" without the quotes. hit enter and leave it to
run. should take about 20 minutes depending on the size of your HDD and how many,
if any, errors were found.

Hope that helps

This is good advice,

Im curious does windows actually load before you get the BSOD?

Also what motherboard do you run, does it happen to have an Nvidia chipset on it.

I had an issue before where driver sweeper removed files that where shared by the motherboard drivers, and it gave me issues.

Yes.

Boot the computer off of the Windows CD. If the computer is not set to boot from a CD (first), you may need to get into the BIOS, find where you set "boot priority", and set the CD/Optical drive to be the first boot device. Alternately, some newer BIOSes give a key which you can press during boot up to choose to boot from the CD/DVD drive. Check the manual that came with the computer or motherboard to find out how to access the BIOS or select boot device.
Or, sometimes the screen will tell you what key to press to enter the BIOS, during the early stages of the boot-up.

Anywho - once you get it to boot off of the Windows CD, follow the normal prompts until you get to the part where Windows finds the existing installation(s). (This is past the part where you can choose to Repair Using the Console)
Once you have the list of installed OSes, choose the one on your old partition (probably C:\WINDOWS) and choose the "Repair" option. This will go through a routine just like the initial installation, but when it's finished, your original Winows should be working and everything should be as it was.
If it asks for video drivers during the repair, point it to the new ones you want to install, or cancel it and install them later.

Okay I got that fixed Thanks Quaker.

But now the usual happens when I used to go into safe mode the screen gets an out of sync message.

I repaired and now normally when I go into the OS it gets the out of sync message instead of the usual crash.

I tried VGA mode but I got an error saying that it wasn't fully installed
