Go into your bios and disable network boot. This message is saying you are trying to boot to a network and unless you are within a company then you don't want that. Change your first boot device to cdrom, second to HDD, third to disabled.

ok tried repair and i thought it worked..but noo :p...it seems liek when im gone (idle) away from my computer it restarts and gets stuck on the boot screen :P any other ideas?

thanks a mill!!!!!
 
ugh...i've done that a few times before...and didn't work. i might try oen last time...:p any other suggestions before full re-install of OS?
 
Just make sure the only 2 boot options are cd drive and hard drive with cd drive being first boot device and disable all others including the network boot. Boot to the XP install cd, you will need to delete existing partitions and then repartition, then it will format and install XP. After installation, you will need to install any drivers that XP didn't install. If you need any help with those just come back here and give us a list of what is not installed from device manager.
