is there anybody i can call to walk me thru a reformat, cuz ive tried every
instrcution step by step and i cant get passed the part where it says SETUP
IS INSPECTING YOUR COMPUTERS HARDWARE CONFIGURATION.
i have windows xp cd home edition NOT with SP1 on it.
 
and my recovery console dont work and i cant install it,is this bad? when i
pop in the xp to install RC, i get this error... WINDOWS SETUP, setup cant
continue because the version of windows on your computer is newer than the
version on the cd.....now is this because ive downloaded SP2 from the
windows update? how do i go about fixing this?
 
Try this..
To install the Recovery Console, follow these steps:
1.. Insert the Windows XP CD into the CD-ROM drive.
2.. Click Start, and then click Run.
3.. In the Open box, type d:\i386\winnt32.exe /cmdcons where d is the
drive letter for the CD-ROM drive.
4.. A Windows Setup Dialog Box appears. The Windows Setup Dialog Box
describes the Recovery Console option. To confirm the installation, click
Yes.
5.. Restart the computer. The next time that you start your computer,
"Microsoft Windows Recovery Console" appears on the startup menu.
