Hi computer will not except my pasword
1. Place your Windows XP CD in your cd-rom and start your computer (it’s assumed here that your XP CD is bootable – as it should be - and that you have your bios set to boot from CD)
2. Keep your eye on the screen messages for booting to your cd Typically, it will be "Press any key to boot from cd"
3. Once you get in, the first screen will indicate that Setup is inspecting your system and loading files.
4. When you get to the Welcome to Setup screen, press ENTER to Setup Windows now
5. The Licensing Agreement comes next - Press F8 to accept it.
6. The next screen is the Setup screen which gives you the option to do a Repair.
It should read something like "If one of the following Windows XP installations is damaged, Setup can try to repair it"
Use the up and down arrow keys to select your XP installation (if you only have one, it should already be selected) and press R to begin the Repair process.
7. Let the Repair run. Setup will now check your disks and then start copying files which can take several minutes.
8. Shortly after the Copying Files stage, you will be required to reboot. (this will happen automatically – you will see a progress bar stating "Your computer will reboot in 15 seconds"
9. During the reboot, do not make the mistake of "pressing any key" to boot from the CD again! Setup will resume automatically with the standard billboard screens and you will notice Installing Windows is highlighted.
10. Keep your eye on the lower left hand side of the screen and when you see the Installing Devices progress bar, press SHIFT + F10. This is the security hole! A command console will now open up giving you the potential for wide access to your system.
11. At the prompt, type NUSRMGR.CPL and press Enter. Voila! You have just gained graphical access to your User Accounts in the Control Panel.
12. Now simply pick the account you need to change and remove or change your password as you prefer. If you want to log on without having to enter your new password, you can type control userpasswords2 at the prompt and choose to log on without being asked for password. After you’ve made your changes close the windows, exit the command box and continue on with the Repair (have your Product key handy).
13. Once the Repair is done, you will be able to log on with your new password (or without a password if you chose not to use one or if you chose not to be asked for a password). Your programs and personalized settings should remain intact.
Cheers'

Why cant i boot my pc to the dvdram im going to
go into bios (usually by hitting F2 or F10 before windows starts) and look for a boot priority list.
in there, you can change your boot order to make the dvd/cd drive the 1st boot device.

How to solve fatal error system halted
This is a very serious error - some essential files from Windows got corrupted; which ones, only god knows, the OS has crashed so badly it's inaccessible to run a diagnostic. The safest way of fixing that is to recover all your files using a Linux Live-Cd and reinstall. Try everything else and the cause of the corruption will come back and do even more damage.

I bought ATI RADEON HD 3450 GPU but its seems not
ATI RADEON HD 3450 is a very old model (from 3 generations ago) and even then it was an low power entry model. On top of that you are using a very weak processor. In total you have a very low power system that will choke if you try to play modern games at anything more than the minimum settings.

Can i save the file into a pendrive?
sure, you can save a file into the pen drive.
first of all, connect the pen drive to the computer. It would be detected as for eg. driver g,h, i. Please check it once.
Now, right click on the file you want to save to the pen drive and click on "send to". You will see your pen drive letter, click on that. It would be saved into the pen drive.
