It wont let me access ANYTHING.. as soon as i press the power button it goes to a black screen & give the error message, and if I press a button it restarts & goes right back to the error message.
How do i do that? It won't let me do anything.
Yeah I actually have been here & I went to...

How can I fix the OS with out a disk & the CD-ROM drive being broken?
I mean without the CD-ROM I can't very well install the OS and since I cannot get to anything but the black error screen I can't install a new CD-ROM drive.. so I am pretty much screwed right?
Or do you know of any way i can...
Yes you can go from regular Xp to XpSp2 or if you feel the need, you can jump to Sp3..
