Well either way I have discovered it is probably just a bad install cause it
has worked many times before. With that aside I just want to start the
install over but it keeps bringing me to the enter cd screen any suggestions?
OH and as far as corporate edition it may be a different name but when I boot
from cd it comes up with a list of the versions of XP and I choose which one
I want to install. But it was purchased legally. But that isnt the issue now.
I just want to reinstall from scratch.
