I have two computers at my house, this one that is clean and another one that has been 'broken' for a while. The other computer seems to be unable to boot to the "Welcome" screen. When turning it on it loads straight up to a menu (where you pick safe mode,safe mode with networking, last known good configuration, etc). I tried all of the options. When I choose Last known good configuration or try to load it up normally it goes to the "MICROSOFT WINDOWS XP" page with a loading bar and then the bar stops and I get a BLUE Stop error which suddenly turns into a GREEN Stop error. No other option but to shut down when on this screen. When trying any of the Safe modes it sends me through a loop. It goes to the "MICROSOFT WINDOWS XP" page which loads and then sends me back to the Boot Menu. Basically I cant reach the Welcome screen, and therefore cannot log in. I tried to Boot Using A CD with a disk that had Microsoft XP on it as I seen suggested but this didn't work. It may not have been the right CD, but it was all I can find. Any ideas?

You now need a good Microsoft windows XP CD to boot to to do a repair install. You can first try this method if you do not want to lose any data.

If you do not want to try the above method, then it is easier to just do a regular repair install.

I must warn you that i do not like this method of repair, as 3 out of 5 times i have problems with the system and end up doing a clean install of XP anyway.
