[Lost in Colorado]

Windows XP will not login. It starts to login in and jumps back to log in page. I read other posts and attempted to fix by rebooting with operating system CD. Computer will not read operating system CD and I cannot login in safemode. Any great ideas?

Have you tried to boot from the Windows XP cd?

Did you go into BIOS\CMOS and change your Boot Sequence so that the CDROM was the first boot device?

I tried to boot from CD and it would not. I did change the boot sequence and no luck. I even tried to get in through remote regedit but could see and not access the computer. I was going to use that to change user/registry information for login, as I saw in an earlier posting for a similar issue. Lost in colorado is also stuck in colorado!!! Argh.

Assuming CD reader is bad, is there a way to take the operating system CD and put on a thumb drive to boot off USB port? I copied everything over but that was not successful either.

Yes, I did try that rather unsuccesfully.
