I'm having BSODs that last time they occurred, I was able to repair by
following these directions:

1. Start your computer with the Windows startup disks, or with the
Windows CD-ROM if your computer can start from the CD-ROM drive.

2. When the Welcome to Setup screen appears, press R to select the
repair option.

3. If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot computer, select the Windows
installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console.

4. Type the administrator password when you are prompted to do so.
(NOTE: If no administrator password exists, press ENTER.)

5. At the command prompt, on the drive where Windows is installed, type
chkdsk /r, and then press ENTER.

6. At the command prompt, type exit, and then press ENTER to restart
your computer.

However, now I have installed SP3 from a CD made from an ISO I got from
the MS site. So.... to follow the instructions above, do I still use my
XP upgrade CD or should I use the SP3 CD?

TIA.

The SP3 CD only contains the updates. It has no repair procedures.
