I just did that and it doesn't matter how I go to restart this computer doesn't matter what disk I have in the disk drive it just goes to restarting installation of Windows Xp, then the isass.exe error message pops up, and it reboots. The pc either hangs on the reinstall or the issas.exe error hangs the pc up I'm not quite sure. It has a 3.5 inch floppy drive, but all the programs are way to big to put on that or else maybe that might boot start into a different mode. Thanks for helping me out here, I appreciate it, if you can come up with anything else keep me posted...
