Corrupted my profile. Must re-install XP. When booting
from CD, install/repair/delete options do not appear. Boot
process takes me directly through sign on process. Can't
run set-up from CD because SP2 has already been installed
and my disk only has SP1. How do I boot from the CD into
the install process? (My 2nd and 3rd boot devices are
already disabled.)
 
Hi,

Is your BIOS set to boot from your CD-ROM?
Check your motherboard manual to see how you can get into your BIOS.
 
Already done that. 1st boot device CD-Rom. 2nd & 3rd
device disabled. Booting from hard drive was corrupted
anyway. I am keeping the disk in the CD drive so that I
can continue to boot and use computer. But, like I said,
all booting from the CD does is take me into Windows.

Thanks.
 
It must be because all my other boot devices are
disabled. This CD is the back-up copy of my original;
however.
