I have windows xp pro and the os got coruppted so I put my xp pro disk in
and used the repair option under install a fresh copy of xpin setup mode now
in the middle of the setup it errors out and say the setup need file asms on
windows xp pro sp2 CDis needed I type in the path where it is and it still
does not find it.I've also tried and new xp pro cd thinking that my old one
could be damaged still the same thing can anyone help please

How do you expect a "Repair this copy of XP" and a "fresh copy of XP" to be
implimatted at the same time.....Try booting to xp cd,at info screen select,
install xp,new copy,delete the partition,create one,then let xp format and
do a
clean install.If ever an xp installation fails or gets disrupted as yours
did,a new
installation is the only answer.

Is there away to revert back to the old instalation because now everytime I
start my computer it goes right into the setup where it errored out looking
for that file asms.
