325789 2005-02-17 20:13:00 You have a couple of choices here. First you can try a repair of XP which should leave all your personal data untouched, or you could do a parallel install of a new XP onto the same partition that XP already uses and use that to rescue off your data. You don't say what version of XP you have, but here are some links for XP Home. If you have Pro, then go to the Pro page and choose the gudies from the list.
