After a PC crash, I restored a backup from external hard drive. Upon
restarting Windows, I immediately got errors, so I tried repairing WinXP. It
gets through to the restart, and I get the "cannot find 'asms'" error (as
I've seen on several threads here). I changed the path to C:\i386\ and it
found it ok. But now it gets stuck on "The
GLOBALROOT\DEVICE\CDROM0\NT5INF.CAT catalog file could not be found..."

I tried copying this file from another laptop onto a CD, but it does not
recognize it. I've read a few suggestions about slipstreaming SP2, but the
recovery CD I've repaired from is WinXP Pro including SP2 - Shouldn't
everything already be on there?

Suggestions?
