Im trying to install XP home edition back to prior settings right now running set up and only at 13% seems to have stopped what should I do now. I have the following air errors on the blue screen D1 10 12 CE ex F74 5a 1A0] I am also I a STOR SYS address F745A 10  at F744B000 date stamp40elb72a . Driver I RTU L not l LESS or equal I have also tried CHKDSK f/r that also did work. Tried previous working settings did not work. Everything under f8 also did not work. I tried F12 settings for CD ROM will start up when asked to recover I get DOS  commands but don't know which one to use to recover from loss of data. Have found nothing on Dell's site about this or how to DOS commands. One of the commands asked do I want to overwrite C Drive I do not know what this means if I should not. I cannot believe that Dell expects you to know these commands or how to use them. So far I have yelled and screamed at this stupid computer trying to get it to work. I got lucky once and was able to get back to safe mode until it told me to restart that was a mistake and not been able to reboot in safe mode or anything else. Right now I wonder if I should do a complete reinstall or not. I did have a external backup running on a separate drive I believe the files are still intact but do not know for sure even if they are intact how can I save those files if I do a complete reinstall it's a way to copy from that drive to the new reinstall or if I should install new hard drive with all of the prior set up and start over putting back everything like Windows download programs for drivers and filesystems installing Windows 3 back plus Internet eight etc. I called Dell today asked them if I could get a drive with prior information already on it, they said no good summary a drive of course and to call technical support so they can charge me. I had a problem prior to this crash to blue screen and decided to get help online with Dell2 which was a remote desktop connection. They told me I had a registry problem and to install system mechanic they set it up to run in the background all the time checking registry. I believe that when I deleted HP printer setup somehow mechanic deleted more than it should have. Is there anyway to force system restore to go back more than one day off force safe mode to start without a blue screen pop-up. Need help at along should I let HP home edition set up run I think it's done. Has not moved at all still up 13% dang it. Oh I forgot what I got system mechanic I ended up with a two-year repair computer. But since I can't get back into the old computer I cannot use my e-mail storage I had with information for the repair I hope Dell keeps a record of purchases from sites like Dell 2 maybe they can do something for me. Anyone out there that can help it would be appreciated very much thank you paragraph
