Unable to access windows xp pro

by attackcatno1 . Updated 18 years, 9 months ago

Hi, I was trying to reformat my hard drive and had read that i could preserve my OEM number by changing the value. I believe i have made some error. The change was made via clicking – Start -> Run and typing %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /A

Following a reboot, I am unable to get any further than the ADMIN log in page which throws up an error telling me that windows cannot verify its authenticity and closes before i can see what the error code is.

I am also unable to boot the system from the cd.

Basically I am unable to do anything.

I would greatly appreciate anyone who might have a helpful suggestion. Thanks 🙂
