Mr. D

I am unable to get windows xp home to accept my password
to do a repair installation. There must be something that
I am not doing right. I've spent hours looking over
Microsofts Knowledge bass and have not found any help
there.
 
You are pressing "R" at the wrong point.

Repair Installation:
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/tips/xp_repair_install.htm
Windows Updates will need to be reinstalled.
Data should be safe, back-up important data just in case.
Install Service Pack first and by itself.
Then install ALL Critical Updates no more than 4 at a time,

Disconnect the network/modem cable before starting repair and do NOT
reconnect the cable until repair is completed and firewall is
installed/enabled.
