Dell System Restore....Gone?

I own a Dimension 5150, originally shipped with XP Home and running fine until this week.

 

A error began occuring at boot up of XP.  The system still started and reached the standard idle desktop screen but any processes scheduled to start at bootup failed.  Any attempt to run an application also failed.  The result was always the same- some sort unhandled exception.

 

I am out of state at the moment and any rescue CDs are back home and I do not have access to them at present.

 

I next used my employers XP Pro install CDs to do a non-destructive OS install.  I was able to use the Driver Reset left over from the old XP Home installation to restore drivers specific to my system.

 

THEN (ahem...) I learn there is a Dell System Restore partition on this drive.  Ctrl-F11 now does not acivate this Dell/Symantic application, presumably as it is not shipped with XP Pro.  My DSR partition is still on this drive- is there anyway to use this partrition to return my PC back to the original OS XP Home shipped state?  Possible to do so without any CD tools that may have been shipped with the PC?

 

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
