Could not figure out how to reply to all...Difficult forum.........
HEREIN LIES THE RUB...
The Windows Log On Window states, "to Begin click your User name"! The problem is there IS NO USER name shown, so there is no name to click on. Further the window says, "After you log on, you can add or change accounts. Just go to control panel an click User Accounts".
I am 78 years old but not stupid or uninformed. I asked for assistance and evidently the replies (so far) do not understand. If I cannot boot to Windows, how the heck can I format XP? I have already cleared CMOS ( as per another suggestion), and still the same problem. The HD, DVD/CD, Floppy are all recognized, but I can't complete the boot to windows!
Problem solved with the help of the six floppy start up disks for XP. Still in all, it take a lonnnngg time.
Windows XP \"Setup Disks for Floppy Boot Install\" The utility is a 4.2 MB EXE file. Have your XP install CD disk close by.
