Very Crucial and Urgent Request: Windows XP Repair Install Problem

[nanobiovipul]

Hi

I have recently bought a HP laptop (Windows XP-based). I had certain malware problem and somehow, I ended up deleting winlogon registry file. After that, I can not pass the login stage and hence my notebook will keep loging in and loging off.

To rectify the problem, I tried to "repair install" my operating system using Windows XP CD. I could pass through the stage where Windows Setup asked me for XP key, which I added. I will like to highlight that I have "Novell Client" installed on my system and probably that's why, during repair install (while setup says "Installing Windows"), Windows Setup also asks for some Novell related dll files, which I provide it by changing the CD. The setup again asks for Windows XP CD and I place the windows xp cd back in cd drive.

The problem start somewhere now. The setup is showing the "Completing installation" feature for last few hours (saying that 28 minutes remaining) and doesn't do anything after that. I am stuck in between Repair Install of Windows.

Can somebody please suggest me, what should I do? An early response will be highly appreciated. I am really stuck.

Thanks
Vipul
