    oh....ok, I put the xPUD cd in the CD ROM drive and booted from that cd to get to the usb. (i thought you were asking to boot directly from the usb.) so, i followed your directions, and saw the screen that the restore point had been set. turned off thecomputer and tried to re-boot. i still get the same two screens as in the begining.

    I'm afraid that the only option left is repair installation: http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/topic...ir-windows-xp/

    You can't download Windows XP.
    My link describes repair installation using your own XP CD.

    When we inserted the XP disc we get a screen with options: F1 to retry boot, F2 for set up utility. we've disabled the hard disc, etc. from the boot sequence and have only the CD ROM checked for boot sequence and we still get the same screen with the F1 and F2 options

    You don't want to uncheck hard drive.
    You have to MOVE CD drive to first position.
