I know what to doto repair my XP OS and I have done it multiple times,
after it copys files it asks me to restart, I do then it asks me if i
want to boot from cd but i wait to allow it to continue the re-install.
But then it goes to the install page and says Restarting Installation
over and over.... what do I do?

Hi,

Are you doing a repair installation or a clean installation? If the latter,
I would delete and recreate the destination installation partition - the
existing may be damaged. If the former, I would load the Recovery Console
first by pressing 'r' when prompted and run chkdsk c: /r from the prompt.

A repair install

Then run chkdsk from the Recovery Console first.

Ok I iwll try to run a chekdisk now, the reason I had to repair windows
was the boot was looping it would load windows and then just restart
over and over.

I ran chkdsk /p no error showed up, it just went back to the C:\
windows prompt again after it ran it. what should I try now?

Chkdsk c: /r (not /p)

May be a stupid question but did you remove the installation CD and then reboot to start the system?

I just finished theproper disk check (the repair one) What should I try
now?

I forgot to add to my last post that the first disk check I did (/p) it
found errors and then I did Fix (/r) and It took a long time, I was
unable to determin if it fixed anything becuase when it finished it did
not say anything about errors. Then I quit the repair console and
restarted my pc. Still my computer boots, then restarts and loops over
and over....

Thank you Kind people for all your help. But I require my computer for
use and I can not afford the slow people at the computer store to spend
4 hours fixing it. So I broke and did a full install, now to put HL2
and all of its 5 disks back on. Thanks for your help!
