XP Setup

I tried to repair XP by upgrading it. Hoping to install a good copy over a
suspect one and not have it destroy all my installed programs and files. At
the 39th minute of the setup procedure I received a Fatal Error warning. The
setup stop, shows me the setup error log, then it closes out and reboots the
computer. The computer starts at the exact same place and repeats the
process. It is like an infinite loop. I have pushed every F-key and I have
shut off the computer and turned it back on to no avail. It startsd the
process over. How can I stop this? I would rather run a buggy version of XP
than to be in this infinite-loop Hell.
