reload problems

[kazlee]

I have tried to reload xp with the reload cd and it has left me with a black
screen with loads of gobblegook. Can anyone tell me how to restore back to
the windows screen.

Please help!!!

What does "reload xp" mean? Reinstall over existing copy? Erase the disk
and start over? Something else?

What does "reload CD" mean? Retail Windows CD? Factory restore CD from
computer manufacturer? Something else?

Nobody can explain what "loads of gobblegook" means.
