after sp3 auto-updated and installed, my xp tablet goes into a reboot loop.
cannot start any version of safe mode. a message 'flashes' during the loop
'invalid boot.ini'. i have a toshiba satellite r15-s829, so the only disks i
have are the toshiba ones that do not allow me to go to the recovery console
(but will format the disk back to original state!).

i have seen xp tablet disks for sale--will this allow me to use the recovery
console without formatting the drive?

any other cheaper/easier suggestions to get my tablet operational?

thanks for your assistance
