I work for a kid's shelter where the kids have had access to the computer as an administrator. I used system restore and went back maybe 4 or 5 months. Now the computer won't start. We have another computer that was donated that is essentially the same as the other and therefore I tried creating a boot floppy from the functioning computer (both have PROFESSIONAL INSTALLED). This didn't work and I did set the boot sequence.
I know one can repair using the Installion CD. We were never given this.
I have gotten to the recovery console and have tried all w/last known config going into a loop of restarting and the others (safe mode w/or w/o command prompt and the others) and it just hangs when loading.
The only other options I have is to
1. Install win 98 se (this is our only copy of an OS) or possibly
2. I could install my version of XP Home and try tp repair PRO from there?
Please help
