ok...as you probably assumed, this is a pirated xp pro. so when i went to do the recovery, all was fine for about a half hour, then i got a message saying that a file was bad or something and it couldnt find the gateway or something like that. so i clicked ok a bunch of times but it wouldnt go away. so i left it going for 20 minutes to see if it would just go past it, but it didnt so i had to shut down. now i cant even boot from the fucking cd. everytime i get the blue screen of death saying that windows detected an error and shut down to prevent harm to computer. and another thing...the fucking pc doesnt even post half the time now unless i give it like 20 seconds between shut down and start up.
so to ercap my current situation....
if i turn the pc on, and it posts, it says booting from OS, then blue screen of death and i have to restart.
if i change bios and make cd-rom first boot first, i get the exact same screen.
all this is making me think that my motherboard is screwed up but i have no idea how that wouldve happened
