You'll need to slipstream SP3: http://www.theelderg...ed_xpsp3_cd.htm, and then try Windows repair: http://www.michaelst...pairinstall.htm

Just how do I do that? The system (win xp) wont start, no internet conect, no DOS acess, no nothing!

[Broni]

You're using some other computer, aren't you?

[dan6240]

Yes I am, a laptop no cd burner, no floppy

[Broni]

You'll have to ask a friend, or family member to burn that CD for you. I see no other option. You need some tool to work with.
