How to return the former network?

Question

Windows

The problem is the following.
I have a laptop with win xp sp3.
It suddenly lost the network. That is, any attempt to bring it to the network in any way is doomed to failure. Even through external 4g modems and external wi-fi.
When you ask to show ipconfig, you get in response: "the specified file cannot be found." Also if you run ipconfig using the full path. I sinned on all kinds of iron, but when booting from winpe, everything worked and the bags ran.
So the question is, is it possible to reinstall all this joy? tried netsh tcp reset.
I really would not want to reinstall the system, because finding a DNS laptop and drivers is a huge problem.

Answer 1

You can try to restore the system using the installed OS. Rollback helps in cases where system files disappear, I remember once upon a time an antivirus deleted something systemic, with a suspicion of a virus, file recovery did not help, only a system rollback.
The second option - XP can recover from the installation disk, for this during installation you need to select the item "Try to restore the installed version of Windows", in theory all drivers and installed programs should remain. Moreover, such recovery can be performed from a non-native disk.

Answer 2

You have a clear, soft problem, and the hardware has nothing to do with it (given that the screw did not fall off).
1. Checking the disk with error correction
2. Restoring the system through recovery ( what where )
2. reliable - reinstall the system.

Answer 3

1) Restore from archive.
2) Roll back to a restore point.
3) Manually sit and check the correctness of system files and settings.
4) Reinstalling is not the best option if you set up the system for yourself for a long time.
On the other hand, if it's only about the drivers, what's the problem with finding them?
