Boot from the XP CD and proceed as if you were performing a normal install. Don't choose to repair when you get the chance near the start. After you have chosen an installation partition, setup will find your existing installation and ask if you want to repair it. Do so and your data and installed apps will be safe.

I have it on my home machine and the machine locked up when shutting down a game. After several minutes of NO response, I shut off the power. Now when I try to boot, either in safe mode OR normally or even Command prompt mode I get a startup screen, a brief BSOD then the machine reboots. I would LIKE to try a repair installation, but I cannot find the Admin password, does anyone have an idea of how I can repair this withOUT having to do a Restore from the default image and lose LOTS of personal data? Right now I have the HDD pulled and as a slave in my work machine and am running Disk doctor to see if I can fix any possible drive errors. Please feel free to contact me OFF list so we dont waste everyone's time Jason 670,616,629 mph. Its not just a good idea, its the law. ******************************************************** This Week's Sponsor - Emergent Online 99Point9.com EOL THINssentials(tm) Bring You TRUE Universal Printing Solutions and Time Zone Support.
