He does'nt have a working XP CD that's the problem now.

well he doesnt need his CD to work with....

he can creat a boot disk with few floppy...

or he can use anyone's XP disk (no matter whether its pireted or not...).... the seal or the stiker which came with his branded system will do for him if if need a cline install....

ok ill tell in detail.. the windows XP cd i have is the setup cd.. i made a mistake while copying that cd.. so all that i can see in that cd is the IMAGE file of the XP setup cd that i copied.. unfortunately i have already del that image from the HDD yday.. so all am that left is with that cd..

yes from mycomputer i can access D:\Windows which is my XP and i can see my files and stuffs there.. the only prob is if i select XP to boot in the boot selection it either restarts or gives an error sayin that sum win2000 file is missin.. i dunno y i get that error.. i have jus started downloadin WIN XP boot disk from the net.. from a site bootdisk.com or sumthin.. its about 4.5 mb.. wat do i do now.. can i use this as my XP boot disk and repair the XP?

this is my current boot.ini file in 2K

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Bala's windows XP Professional" /fastdetect

Try changing the last line to
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Bala's windows XP Professional" is u installed XP in D:\Windows.
