failed XP install?
i am instailling winXP over ME on my sister's computer.
her comp. meets all the requirements just fine, but ive tried "repair" three times and it still doesn't work. it keeps saying it's missing a file,
/windows/system32/..../SYSTEM or something liek that.
anyhow, using the recovery options (i am using the OS disc that came with my computer to install on hers) i placed her existing files in a backup folder. hence, i cant do a clean install.
any suggestions? thanks!

You need to get the backup stuff off that you want and do a clean install.

If you are using a full version XP disk, just press F12 while the pc is booting up and select boot to cd. follow the prompts from there. don't repair, instead perform a clean install of XP.

Hmm... maybe microsoft put something on the disc so that it can only be installed once on that disc. i see why you're replacing windows Me, i had that on my old comp and it sucked :). buy the disc from walmart or any electronics store.
sorry this is how it has to be.
