NOTE: It would be best to physically disconnect all your peripheral hardware
              devices, except the monitor, mouse and keyboard, before repairing XP.
              If your laptop is mounted in a docking station, undock it.

|I am trying to reinstall XP Pro on my laptop. During the 
| install (about 20 min. into process) there was a 
| bluescreen failure. Restarting resumes the setup 20 min. 
| into the process which again fails. Removing the CD does 
| not force a boot back to the hard drive and the original 
| XP install, it also resumes setup and subsequently fails 
| at teh same point. Removing all power and restart does 
| not help. Is there anyway to force the bootable XP Pro CD 
| back to the original menu to restart or is there a way to 
| cancel the re-install process. Any help is very much 
| appreciated.
