ACPI and XP

[Ryan]

Asus CUV4xD Dual Board and ONE P3 1.0Ghz
I had already installed XP and tried to disable ACPI to
improve the performance of my audio recording setup by
doing the following:
control panel>system>hardware>device manager> computer>
When I got here I clicked on ASCI Multiprocessor, went
through the wizard and picked a new device "MPS
Multiprocessor. I think this was a mistake and I should
have picked "standard PC". Anyways, now Windows won't
boot. At setup. it goes to a prompt that says "windows
won't start.... Either boot up in safe mode, safe mode
(with two other options), restart windows as is, configure
windows to work as it did before changes.
Well I tried all of these and nothing worked, it always
took me back to the same setup page.
How do I get back into windows and reconfigure the drivers
to fix this problem?
Help
Thanks

ACPI should be disabled in the BIOS and then a Repair Installation of
Windows XP performed.
