Hi John,

You have to first click on "To setup Windows XP..."

some issues with booting
can be resolved simply by
using a couple of commands
at the disk prompt.

by using your windows
cd and logging into the
recovery console you
can run:

chkdsk
fixboot

then type/enter

exit

and retry booting
without the cd.

Thanks for the post as well as to Terry for the information sharing.

To perform a reinstallation of Windows XP, please do as follows:

contact your computer manufacturer. Then insert your Windows XP Setup CD,
and restart your computer.
1. When the Press any key to boot from CD message is displayed on your
screen, press a key to start your computer from the Windows XP CD.
2. Press ENTER when you see the message To setup Windows XP now, and then
press ENTER displayed on the Welcome to Setup screen.
3. Do not choose the option to press R to use the Recovery Console.
4. In the Windows XP Licensing Agreement, press F8 to agree to the license
agreement.

the box, and then press R to repair Windows XP.
