Windows XP Repair Install

[Menthe831]

Hi,

My original problem was my computer kept rebooting, windows could not load, and safe mode was not accessible.

I just attempted to repair install my Windows XP. However, before I was able to enter my windows xp product code and complete installation, my computer was accidentally turned off. So I have an unfinished windows xp installation...

Windows still cannot load. When I try to repair install windows again, it tells me the operating system is already on that partition.

HOW DO I FINISH REPAIR INSTALLING WINDOWS XP from here, without erasing all of my files, applications, settings? Do I go ahead and repair install windows xp in the same partition again? OR?

While installing windows if accidentally pc turned off then next time windows continue it automatically , now if you start from start that by pressing enter while boot from cd that will show operating system is already on that partition so press escape there and delete that partition and create new one and start again
