There are details missing from this tale here...
If you made the Recovery Console CD as EvilFantasy asked above it shouldn't be giving a repair option...that's not what it does.
What CD are you booting to and what steps have you taken so far ? ?
Im booting the cd evilfantasy told me to make.
first of all when i start up the comp it says "press any key to boot from cd"
so i do that and thern it gives me the option:
To setup a windows xp now, press enter.
To repair a windows xp installation using recovery console, press r
So i press R and then it asks me which windows installation i would like to log into (theres only one option) so i do that then it asks what the admin pass is so i type that in, then in the next line i type the code in that evil fantasy gave me and after that it starts to recover or whatever. Thats what stage im on at the moment.
And mario21lv thanks for offering advice but that article cant help me as i dont have the windows xp installation disc anyway.
