you need to check and see if the computer you have can meet the hardware requirements of XP before you do that. Dont format your drive until you are positive that your computer has the necessary disk space, ram and speed needed to handle the massive load of XP

This is an error in your Operating System (Windows), there is no way to 'exit' this error.

Use a GNU/Linux liveCD to boot into your computer and access your files and copy them to an external drive, flash drive, or network drive, to keep them safe before you reinstall.

What three options are available on the welcome tab in Windows Backup?
I am unsure of the names but I can remember what each one does. The first one should merely reinstall windows but leave all your files where they currently are. The second one should move the current structure of your hard drive to a folder normally entitled something along the lines of "my old disk structure". It will then reinstall windows on your hard drive. The third option should completely wipe your hard drive and reinstall windows on it. If you have any files that aren't backed up then you will lose them. Dont use this option if you have any files on the computer when you use this option you will lose them!
