I have the bios set to boot from the cd. I get the screen that asks me
to press any button to continue and I do. Instead of the next screen
being the repair screen/options, my system boots Xp and goes into the
fully operating system. I am running Win XP sp2. The original install
disk is the Student Media/Work At Home Media version of XP 64. I would
like to repair XP 64 but my system bypasses that screen, please help.
Thanks,
Todd

The first test would be to see if you are booting thru the BIOS to XP or
thru the CD to XP. Your first test would be to modify the BIOS to not have
a hd in the boot priority. Set everything to CD and see what happens.

It still boots up and goes into the regular operating system. Still no
repair or re-install option screen.
Thanks,
Todd

The media is probably not a standard XP cd. Contact the system
administrator at your college for assistance.

Colin has your reply, but it is confusing if you are trying to repair a
WinXP sp2 (X86) system with a 64-bit install disk or are you dual booting
and trying to repair a second XP X64 system?

This is the disk that I installed the operating system with. It was an
eBay purchase a while back that was supposed to be the full version.
Lol, I guess it isn't. I don't know what a x86 system is but I do know
that the operating system that is on here was installed from this cd.
Thanks for all the help so far.

"x86" is shorthand for the 8086 instruction set first released by Intel. It
means "32bits" when applied to operating systems. X86 is what we all have
been using to run Win95 through XP.
"x64" is shorthand for "64bits" and refers to 64bit processors with a 64bit
instruction set that are also backwards compatible with the x86 instruction
set. In other words, 64bit processors that can run either 32bit or 64bit
OSs.
If you have a 64bit capable machine, you could be running either the
standard 32bit version of XP or the 64bit version. Either the media will
say or the person who gave you the cd can tell you.

Well it is for sure XP 64 that I have been running. Thanks for the
info on the X86 thing.
I think I will just format for the heck of it.
Thanks for all the help.

On my installation, you need to hit a key at a particular point for
the CD to be read. That is, the bios chooses the CD, but then asks for
a key to be hit, just to make sure.
Note there are two "repairs." One repair gets you to a point where you
can read files on the PC. The other repair requires you to begin as if
you are going to do an installation. However, at a point, you are
given the choice of repairing the installation on the hard drivea or
completely wiping out that partition and starting over. Obviously,
pick repair.
You need to load the service pack and should install all the drivers.
I did a post regarding this a few weeks ago. What had happened in my
case was the USB port stopped working during the installation (repair)
process. Thus no mouse and no keyboard. I had to start over again with
a PS2 keyboard installed.

Yep, the same usb thing happened to me. I did get it to work by
uninstalling service pack 2. That was probably the first thing I
should have done but, it works so it was a lesson learned. Thanks for
all the help guys.
