XP Repair install

Boot the computer using the XP CD. You may need to change the boot order in the system BIOS so the CD boots before the hard drive. Check your system documentation for steps to access the BIOS and change the boot order.
When you see the "Welcome To Setup" screen, you will see the options below
This portion of the Setup program prepares Microsoft
Windows XP to run on your computer:

To setup Windows XP now, press ENTER.

To repair a Windows XP installation using Recovery Console, press R.

To quit Setup without installing Windows XP, press F3.

Press Enter to start the Windows Setup. do not choose "To repair a Windows XP installation using the Recovery Console, press R", (you Do Not want to load Recovery Console). I repeat, do not choose "To repair a Windows XP installation using the Recovery Console, press R".
Accept the License Agreement and Windows will search for existing Windows installations.
Select the XP installation you want to repair from the list and press R to start the repair. If Repair is not one of the options, read this Warning#2!
Setup will copy the necessary files to the hard drive and reboot. Do not press any key to boot from CD when the message appears. Setup will continue as if it were doing a clean install, but your applications and settings will remain intact.
 
I don't have that option in the menu to repair windows. As soon as I select the drive it tells me what I file system I want to format the drive with and after that it says that I'll lose everything on that drive so I backed out. What "warning #2" are you refering to by the way? I read all of the options presented and nothing would let me repair the system without wiping everything off.
 
Sorry everyone, I fixed the problem but forgot to write back. The problem was really simple, and I don't know why I didn't realize it sooner. I simply went into the display properties and got rid of the hardware acceleration and everything was fine again.
