Why are you using boot disks? If you have the cd, boot the machine
with the cd as the first boot device. This is done in the bios.

XP REPAIR INSTALL

1. Boot the computer using the XP CD. You may need to change the
boot order in the system BIOS. Check your system documentation
for steps to access the BIOS and change the boot order.


2. When you see the "Welcome To Setup" screen, you will see the
Options below:

To setup Windows XP now, press ENTER.

To repair a Windows XP installation using Recovery Console, press
R.

To quit Setup without installing Windows XP, press F3.


3. Press Enter to start the Windows Setup.


4. Accept the License Agreement and Windows will search for
existing
Windows installations.

5. Select the XP installation you want to repair from the list and

press R to start the repair.

Warning!!

If the option to Repair Install is not available and you continue
with the install; you will delete your Windows folder and Documents

and Settings folder. All applications that place keys in the
registry
will need to be re-installed. You should exit setup if the repair
option is not available and consider other options.

6. Setup will copy the necessary files to the hard drive and
reboot.
Do not press any key to boot from CD when the message appears.
Setup will continue as if it were doing a clean install, but
your
applications and settings will remain intact.
