Oops - If you have installed Service Pack 2 (not included with the XP cd)
you may receive a message stating that the current Windows installation is a
newer version than on the cd. Requires removing SP2 or slipstreaming - info
provided in previous post.

Are you "curious" about the repair option - or is the computer
problematic? In any case (along with the source posted by PD43) the
folloing may be of interest:
1. There are two repair options available when booting from the XP
cd "Repair Console" and "Repair" ( not too descriptive!).
2. Boot from the cd and proceed as doing an installation.
3. Ignore first option to use the "Recovery Console" - proceed and
select the otion to "repair a Windows installation"
4. Critical point here! If you select the repair option, the
Windows installations are listed for you to select the install to repair.
This point is critical because if your current Windows installation is not
listed (OS is not "found" or "detected") it is a critical problem
requiring other diagnostic methods.
5. Let "repair" proceed - contrary to some thoughts - particular
files (such as setup) are not repaired or repalced - the repair is a
complete upgrade installation.

although, the repair option
is a viable method to fix
an ailing system, it may
be impracticable in most cases.
further, there is a boundary
that may also be imposed
whereas, if your computer
has been updated to sp2
via the automated microsoft
update feature "but" you only
have a windows cd that is version
sp1 or less, then this is a
conflict an impedes a headache
free automated windows repair.
so the first question is, "do
you have a windows setup
cd that is version sp2?".

My NEC PC in on WinXP Home. I have the original disc. I am told that I
can use the disc for bootup and to use the Repair function but I have
never done that before and I don't know how to really do it. I want to
learn the process. Am a bit worried that I may screw up other things.
As I am not that good on computers, could someone please show me in
simple steps how to do that. Hopefully that may also cure the problems
that used computers accumulate after some time.
TIA
