I have tried all these things. I hate this.

Some online recommendations suggest running recover, but even though the machine was booted from the CD, it then says there's no CD.

I'm going to eat lunch and then try to make a DOS boot disk. I suppose taking to drink would have a bad effect on my troubleshooting.

Does Windows XP setup start from CD, but it then falls over?

It starts for the CD, then says an upgrade is in process. When I try to continue the upgrade or run repair, it wants the CD, but says it's not there.

Does the version of CD you have match the version of Windows you have? (Ie home, professional, media centre?)

I have nothing to offer on the xp troubleshooting front, but I was curious if is there was anyway to download videos from YouTube? Much like fics, there are vids I want to make sure I never lose track of.

Note to self: "search" is there for a reason.

Thanks! Have fun storming the Windows!

The CD is Dell's install of Windows SP2.

I'm back into Windows, and all my data seems to be there, but I've lost every frelling setting. I started this at 10 a.m. and dog knows how long it's going to take me to reset up everything and figure out all those damn passwords.

@#$% computers.

@#$% Windows, most accurately.
