I can't get o0ut of an ME reinstall loop.
Q: How do I quit the install process and get ME to do a "Normal" boot?
I tryed to do an over the top reinstall of ME on a friends PC, to replace a missing mouse driver and some other files. The original ME CD and key were not available, but I had an ME CD and reinatalled from this. I had to skip some steps as a "mini.cab" that install was looking for on C: was not found. The mouse drivers are now reinstalled, but the installation process won't finish, it gets stuck on "Setting up Hardware" and restarting the PC doesn't help. Now every time I reboot the install process tryes to finish, but won't. I want to get out of install and finish configuration manually, but can't find the command that re-starts the install, to disable it.
Q: How do I quit/finish the install process and get ME to do a "Normal" boot?
P.S. I can boot into safe mode or DOS, to edit any startup files or registry keys, if someone knows what to edit.
