ERROR: C:\FIX\SETUP\SETUP.EXE and others during REINSTALLATION

[Guest]

Hi all,

I am trying to reinstall my windows xp family. While running the
reinstallation, my computer shutdown. Upon restart it restarted the
reinstallation (a lot of "re"'s happening.) I thought it odd but... then
it shut down again, and also a third time. Now my computer has lost some
files and the restart files are corrupted.

My questions are:
1. Where can i find these files?
2. How can i load?
3. After that, do i reinstall as usual?

The error messages that I'm getting include the one on the subject line of
this post, as well as many which begin with the "FIX\Q323255.EXE -u -z -q"

the numbers after the Q change, so I assume these are the missing files or
the error markers but I'm just guessing.
HELP
Thanks
Lex

Im not familiar with the errors that you are seeing but I would use
"recovery console" to run chkdsk /p for starters, possibly consider a
parallel install to recover data then wipe and load, or you can search on
the articles in the KB about "manually uninstalling XP". Sorry but without
more exact information its tough to say whats going on here.
We need specific error messages
How exactly did you reinstall, or was it an inplace upgrade, or was it
really a repair, or a parallel, ect?
Hardware specs to rule out incompatibilities
