IAN, Can you help me? I'm experiencing the same exact problem as you. I'm attempting to do a repair utilizing the windows xp pro cd (even though my comp has windowsxphome) and when i get to that point it asks me for adminstrative password and nothing works. Can you tell me exactly what you did to repair this problem? I apologize in advance for not being very computer knowledgable however if you can help me i'd really appreciate it
