Problem with booting XP.

Hi all

I had Win ME on my system until I upgraded it to XP.
Obviously this is a big improvement but when I boot XP, I
get the same error twice before being able to start it up
properly. The error is something like
system32/config/system is damaged - it also says to use
the Windows Setup disk to repair the file by
pressing 'r' at the first screen.

I have figured out these are instructions from the old ME
system - if I reboot with the old ME disk, the 'r' is
for 'recover' which I obviously don't want to do unless I
want to take a step back in time.

My XP disk doesn't offer an 'r' option at the first or
any other screen.

Hence why I think there is somethign in my booting up
sequence pointing to an ME file.

Any thoughts ?

Ta
Neil
