This happened after i ran my computer in safe mode and i was careless deleting virus on my computer. now whenever i try to log into xp it just logs me out even in safe mode. therefore i have done some research and found similar problem.
below are the steps i follow. however i am facing a few problem.

Fix:
1. Boot using your winxp cd.
2. Enter recovery console.
3. at the command prompt go to

C:/windows/system32

4. next type:

copy userinit.exe wsaupdater.exe

5. exit and reboot normally. You should now be able to logon. But you're not done yet!

6. run regedit

7. find the Userinit key in:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\

8. modify the entry:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\wsaupdater.exe

so that it reads:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\userinit.exe


these steps should be easy enough, but i can not even complete step 1.

here is my problem.

whenever i reboot from my winxp cd
i pressed r to perform recovery console
this is what it shows up

Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer.

weird!!! could it be that because i am running raid 0?

please help me!!!

Did you press F6 to install the required drivers first?
