How do you expect a "Repair this copy of XP" and a "fresh copy of XP" to be
implimatted at the same time.....Try booting to xp cd,at info screen select,
install xp,new copy,delete the partition,create one,then let xp format and
do a
clean install.If ever an xp installation fails or gets disrupted as yours
did,a new
installation is the only answer.

Is there away to revert back to the old instalation because now everytime I
start my computer it goes right into the setup where it errored out looking
for that file asms.
