About Jeffrey Bradley
Expertise
I can answer questions about Windows XP and 2000 that include installation, setup, how to do certain things with those operating systems (Some examples are un-installing drivers, creating limited accounts, etc.), I can also answer questions about securing wireless networks and most wireless router configuration questions as well. What I can not answer (at least not at this time), is how to write scripts in Vb Script or Windows Scripting Host format. NOTE: As of 3/29/2008, I have now finished college for my AS degree in Internet Technology! I am now a graduate of Keiser University and in case your courious, I ended up with a 3.6 GPA which means that I will be graduating with honors when I walk in May. (Cum Laude). It also means that responses should be a lot faster, too. :-) Thank you.

Experience
I have been with Windows since it first came out and involved with computers before Windows even came out (I had the commodore Vic 20). Here is a trivia question: What was AOL's original names from startup? A. Quantum Link for the Commodore computer systems, Pc-Link (DOS) and AOL (Windows). I have installed and configured several networks, wired and wireless, I also run Christian Computer Services (http://www.christiancomputerservices.info) where I do on-site local area service/tech-support calls and I also educate users in computer and family security.

Organizations
Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society

Education/Credentials
I am a student at Keiser University in Lakeland, Florida and will be receiving an A.S. Degree in Internet Technology next year and my GPA runs from 3.5-3.8.

Answer
Hi,

First you can try this the easy way (which won't always work), when the boot menu shows up, press f8, last known good configuration, then choose the xp os, if it boots up fine, do a normal complete shutdown.

As long as you have an authorized XP disk and know your product key, you can use the XP disk to perform a repair installation, the setup program should detect the Windows XP and offer that option, you may need to edit the boot.ini file afterwords (but not always).

Just make sure that you choose the repair option, otherwise, you'll have two XP's and one 2003 on the drive.
