You will need your XP installation CD for this, so I hope you have one.
Stay offline to do a repair and do not go online again without a firewall enabled. After repairing XP, install Service Pack (if necessary), firewall and then you must install all Critical Updates next.
1. Boot the computer from your Windows XP CD.
2. When you see the "Welcome To Setup" screen press [Enter] to start the Windows Setup.
3. Accept the Licence Agreement and Windows will search for existing Windows installations.
4. Select the XP installation you want to repair from the list and press to start the repair. Setup will copy the necessary files to the hard drive and reboot.
5. Do not press any key to boot from CD when the message appears. Setup will then continue as if it were doing a clean install, but your applications and settings will remain intact.
