Hi Need help please
I am trying to install win xp home w/sp2. before attempting installation i
formatted the hdd (NFTS), changed CDROM to 1st boot device, the install goes
past the license agreement and the stops. When i restart the system the above
message is on the screen. I tried to repair the installation from the setup
cd but it keeps asking me for an administrator password, but i don't have one
set up. Any ideas?
I would be grateful for any assistance

Thanks
.
