You will need the xp disk that was used for the original install to activate the repair installation.

for sure i will need it.. i cant use anything eles?..

Thank you very much man..

now what about the cords.. theres 4 cords - i don tknow where they go.. i do have another comp with same cords but diff numbers.. looks easy.. but iunno..

You must have the same disk or a new disk that has never been used for an install. At the end of the re-install, you will have to activate the software. If you use a different disk, the activation codes won't match. It is possible that you could activate by phone and convince Microsoft to give you a new activation code, but I wouldn't count on that happening.

I don't understand your cord problem. It only takes three to hook up a cd drive and all three are very different. As such it should be obvious where each goes. I don't see how a cat could get them out of the drive. Are you talking about cords that plug into the back of the computer and not inside. Those too would all be different

Your other thread.
Did you ever get all the cables reconnected correctly?
IT sounds like you were very confused about where things go.

I am not sure what you meant by "beat it" but this thread seems to be related to this one
