hi, if you have the xp cd, you can try to reinstall, go to cmos set up and configure it to boot to the cd drive where your xp cd is inserted during the installation process it will prompt you either to install a new copy of windows or repair windows, by the way have you tried to boot to last known good configuration? as far as i know you can't do system restore without logging to windows..

hi, to go to cmos setup , it depends on what BIOS your using you can check on it when your computer boots, if your using Award BIOS then just press Del, or you try pressing F1, when you get into cmos setup, look for Boot Configuration then just configure it to the desired settings, or if you choose repair during xp installation it will not lost your data only the system files, but if you choose new copy of windows all data lost...
