    A) Did you actually buy XP?

    B) This is still in the text-based blue screen setup portion?

      Ofcourse I didn't buy it.

      It's amidst installing, not letting continue without that file.

      Everytime I manually reboot it goes back to installing.

      If there is not solution, whats the MS_DOS command to reformat and just get rid of this crap that keeps trying to install.

        Fixed:


        Controls.man file was corrupted.


        Took WinXP Cd, put it on HD, replaced corrupted file with clean version, burned the directory on cd, voila
