xp pro(2600) restart during login

[skorpio 0]

ok, so i had winme, den i installed winxp(non upgrade) and it worked fine, so i decided to get rid of it and upgrade winme to xp pro, installation went fine, except wen i get to the login screen and login it says "loading your personal settings" that lasts for a few seconds and then it just restarts, i tried safe mode, and everything else under the f8 startup menu, cant boot from cd and have no other os besides knoppix(linux) on cd.

 

what can i do, sum 1 help me please

kool thanx, i didnt change the filesystem when i installed it so its still fat32, but for some reason my computer doesnt want to boot from cd, i got it enabled in bios but its just not doing it(it boots linux cd's thou), so is there a way to run the winxp install program from dos(winme startup floppy), i tried but it gave me the good old "cant run in dos" crap, so i need to know if there is a way, coz i really dont want to install me, and then xp, and then delete old xp, too much f*$@ing around considering i get home at like 6 and gotta go bed at 9, so not much time to mess round on computer
