Ok .I may have deleted something I should not have!!!

Running XP with service pack 2

Starts up and I get the blue dell screen.....just loops through this and stops.

Put in my XP [full]....try to boot from CD

It will not let me accept Lisence........by hitting F8....then says cannot read from c:\

Any ideas that will help?...............I was thinking about changing my boot driver to mr CDR drive and maybe it can reinstall XP through that?

I gotta stop tinkering with the fucking thing

Yes, back up all your important files/docs (this you should do routinely anyway) and get a fresh install of XP on your PC. I never trust the repair option in windows, but that is just my opinion.
