If you're using XP, System Restore is a great tool.\n\nGo to Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore.  Follow the directions and you're on the way!

Try to do a windows repair by booting from a windows xp cd.  Then continue with a windows setup and do a repair when it asks you to.

There is a system restore on your computer you can restore it to a time that had it the way it used to be (I hope I am clear with this). I have had to do that as well and it worked for me. If not then you need to clean your system and go to windows online and there are some forums there with anwsers there that will help its full of windows geeks and they are helpfull as well with this. If you cant restore this then you may have to delete it and reload it on the computer. I am sorry I am new to windows XP PRO myself but I had this problem last month and I jsut did a total system restore and it worked.

I've been having some computer problems lately myself where XP won't boot. I tried pretty much everything. But I finally got it working after using this:\n\nFix-It Utilities 6\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009JKGRY/002-0155762-7876854?v=glance&n=229534\n\nI'm not sure if it'll work for you or not, but it's worth a shot.

Here's your fix, only if your running XP and you have an OEM CD.\n\n1. Boot up with the WinXP CD and at the Setup Screen press the Enter Key.\n  \n2. You will be taken to the Windows XP Licensing Agreement. Press F8 to proceed.\n\n3. The next screen gives you the option to do a fresh (clean) install or to repair\n     the selected Windows XP installation. To run a Repair Install press "R".\n\n***CAUTION*** if you do not see the option to repair the selected Windows XP\ninstallation DO NOT choose the option to continue installing a fresh copy without\nrepairing as that will overwrite your data and cause unrecoverable data loss.\n\n4. If you originally installed XP with Service Pack 1 and later installed Service Pack     2,  you will need to re-install Service Pack 2.\n\n5. If you have any Microsoft Office products installed,  you will need to re-activate\n    with the Product Key code. Contacting Microsoft may be required.

the problem may not be your software. I believe its your cd rom drive.  i have thesame problem when i installed my xp OS in my pc.  Good thing i have a spare cd rom drive. Try to install it with a different cd rom drive.

pop in your xp disc  when the screen comes up choose r then type in chkdsk /r it should fix it  or start unplugging your cards one at a time to see if one of them is bad

It depends on for whom the solution is easier...  ;-))\n\nThis solution is easier for the Dell tech support folks.\nIdentifying the right drivers and cleaning out the old \nones and putting in the new ones correctly may be more \ndifficult for you, too.\n\nIf you have WinXP pro, can you go back to one of the \nsystem's saved checkpoints when it was working right?\nThis would loose whatever changes you made since that\ntime, too.  (So might reinstall, depending on how you \ndo it.)
