after trying to install windows xp again with a scratched cd i deleted all the system files and now it wont boot at all. i was thinking if i got windows boot disk and booted them i could probably get a new copy of windows xp and copy the files again to the comp but could it work because mines scratched. also it doesnt have to be the brand of th ecompyuter to reinstall windows does it?

can you n ot simply get another xp disk and reinstall from there, it gives you option to format or repair i am sure of it :)
i think you may need to change cdrom to first boot device though, not sure.
but thats easy to do anyway.
hope this helps

If it has windows on it. It should allow you too install it with the Startup disk.

If it's an emachine computer or some other sort like it.you will have to have the factory reinstall disc,because regular windows xp wont install all the drivers to the motherboard that it needs ,such as sound-bios etc....but I have a way of merging windows xp with whatever type of computer you have creating you a custom cd that includes all drivers you need and cd key built in the cd.If you get feed up enough just email me at i'manidiot.com edited by ddp ....or if you have skype messenger just ( I.M. me at i'manidiot edited by ddp) try skype its cool..i'll work with you till it's fixed.

windows xp with a twist.
This is a great OS utility for the price given.no installation needed.just pop in the cd and run windows from cd.get your while they last.no cd keys or activation required.comes with cd burning software,antivirus ,antispyware,firefox explorer and more.
A live CD contains an OS configured to run directly off the CD, ie, it need not be installed on the system. Just pop the CD into the system?s drive, boot from it and the OS will be up and running, without tampering with the OS loaded on your system?s hard drive. This can be a very handy tool for network administrators for tasks such as, recovering data from crashed desktops or doing other troubleshooting tasks. Companies that want to demonstrate their software products to clients could also use it. They would, however, need to integrate their product with the OS that is running on the live CD. Similarly, educational institutes could use it to provide training to students, or even cyber cafes could get diskless workstations, boot them off a live OS and provide Internet access. As we can see, there are plenty of uses for a live CD. Most live CDs till now had been based on Linux, with the most popular one being Knoppix. But, now there?s a live CD that runs Win XP.
