Usually repairing Windows will not work, because Windows tries to reinstall your old chipset drivers. Thus, you should uninstall them. You should also use Driver Cleaner. Depending on your version of Windows (AFAIK this will not work with XP Home), use SYSPREP.

Well Crud. Alright, I'll know for next time. Now, question. Should I go ahead and install the 64bit beta version of XP? or should I just stick with XP Pro? Im going to install another version of windows onto the hard drive now and maybe just delete the old one after. Its not good practice I know, but there are a lot of files on there I need.
