Hi silvermine...

This is good news!

Now run the Repair again following the guide in post #117 under the Set Up heading. If you have any questions, ask before doing anything.

This is happening again. --- It's continuing to reboot over and over......
Right before it starts a new reboot it says "Setup is being restarted"

Do I boot to CD again or press DEL to enter setup? I have just been letting it boot by itself.

Yes...give it a shot.

[silvermine]

Which one?

[wannabe1]

Sorry....

Boot to CD....

[silvermine]

Ok I am back to the Welcome to Setup page.

Press Enter

Licensing agreement - press F8 I assume

[wannabe1]

Yes...F8

On the next screen you'll want to press the R key. After selecting the installation to repair...don't choose the failed set up if it is offered.

Copying files.

That's what we want. It should appear just like it is installing XP for the first time, but it will leave your programs and data intact.
