How can I determine the installed edition of Windows XP if the OS does not boot up?

I'm repairing a windows installation for someone, where it doesn't boot anymore.

However they don't have a clue about which version they were running and I don't either.

How can I determine the windows version, by just looking at the files alone(from a bootcd)

EDIT:

I've noticed an documents and settings folder so it's safe to assume it's XP. How can I determine which service packs have been installed? (and how can I see if it is professional or home?)

  • @Sathya - I disagree, the person asking that question knows its XP where *reiner* is assuming it is XP. The question is similar but not an exact duplicate. I do however agree that the answers provided may lead this user in the right direction to solving their own problem. – ricbax Oct 19 '10 at 14:23

  • Don't delete it, we can use this as a reference for others. Question will be close as Dupe. – Sathyajith Bhat Oct 19 '10 at 14:57
