Need Computer Help.
I installed SP3 and it crashed my home computer. I can't even boot up in safe mode... Long story short, anyone have a XP startup disk? I need it so I can repair my computer.

Excellent! Mine is still down. Says something about administrators password when none was set up in the restore console. My research concludes i have to make some ultimate boot cd to bypass it. I give up on computers. My phone internet works good.

Dude, XP is copy protected so when you install it on one computer, it will deactivate it on others when update is used. If the other guy updates his copy of your XP, then it will lock you out of your XP next time you try to update. Microsoft will let you slide if you call them, but when your buddy updates his copy again, the whole process starts over again.
