Error in system registery

[sergey]

My other computer running windows xp has some kind of
system registery error and wont boot to windows xp.. ive
tried everything to fix it.. when i try to use recovery
console, it asks me for the administrative password,
which im pretty sure never set and left blank, and it
wont accept the password as blank. When i try to use
repair by using the disk i used to install windows xp, it
fails to find the instalation of windows xp on the hard
drive which is surprising. I cant install it again since
all 4 of my drives have under 1gb of memory needed for
win xp. Help me please.. i cant get it to start at all.

the windows xp instalation... im so lost..

It looks as though you need to start over with a new install of XP and wipe
your current one as follows:
Boot with the XP CD in the drive. When you see the message on the boot
screen to "Press any key in order to boot from the CD," do so.

After loading drivers and files, you should be taken to a screen with
the following:

To Setup Windows XP now, press ENTER.
To Repair a Windows XP Installation using Recovery Console press R.
To Quit setup without installing Windows XP, press F3.

In your case, press ENTER.

Agree to the License agreement by pressing F8.

You will then be taken to a screen with two options.

To repair the selected Windows XP installation press R.
To continue installing a fresh copy of Windows XP without repairing,
press ESC.

This will bring you to a partition map where you
can delete, create and format partitions.
Select the drive you wish to format, delete the partition, then create a new
partition, format as desired and continue with XP installation.
