Re: Windows XP Pro not logging in

Thanks. This is the option I am having to go with anyway. Tried to repair
installation with XP Pro CD and failed on installation. Now it cannot even
boot up. Even when trying to fix the boot.ini.

Taking the hard disk out and putting in an external case. Plugging this into
another XP workstation and see how I get on from there.
