WARNING

When you repair Windows XP, existing data and programs may be erased. Make sure to back up all of your personal files on a CD-R before commencing reinstallation.

After repair, all pre-installed programs of the original installation may require reinstallation.

5. Click "ENTER".
6. Using the PageUp and PageDown keys, set the "First Boot Device" to
"CDROM".
7. Insert the Installation CD.

this, press "R".
16. The required data is now being copied from the CD.
17. Once copying is complete, the Shuttle XPC restarts.
18. If the message "Please press any key to restart from CD" appears
again, do NOT press any keys.
