After repair (XP Home) i get a error: Set up is being restarted.

XP Home installation was working but had a few OS problems, did a OS repair (boot to CD then repair, Not recover). The system went through the copying files stage then rebooted. At this point i get this error:

Set up is being restarted.  Windows XP setup cannot run under safe mode. Setup will restart now.

It is now a loop.. I can restart the pc it says setup is continuing then i get the error, I can boot to CD and go to repair again, it say setup is running and to re-boot, again same error.

I booted to the recovery console and did a bootcfg /list
1:D:\MiniNT
2:D:\I386
3:C:\windows

How do it get out of this loop?
Thanks

The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.
