Re: Computer (Windows XP) Problem
If you can boot from the Windows CD, you can do a "repair install". after you boot, DO NOT GO TO THE REPAIR CONSOLE, go ahead And tell it to install windows. It will then do a disk check and tell you that windows already exists on this partition and ask if you want to repair. Say yes. It looks like it is reinstalling windows, but it's not. It will replace all system files. I think it will return you to the service pack level of the install CD, not sure on that. If you google "repair install XP" you should find lots of info.

Good luck.
