    xp repair install

    isn't there a repair install with xp. If so how can I run it? Also how do you "go back" to a previous state? I'm seen go to " last known good" but that doesn't do anything. Isn't there a way to select how far to go back? Again I appologize for my inexperience with xp ( and nt in general ) but I definately need to learn this os!

    There are repair options - you boot from the cd and let the setup run... the one that is offered at the point where you choose the partition to install on is the automatic one.

    As for system restore , start, programs, accessories, system tools, system restore to set a restore point or go back to one, or boot to safe mode where you are automatically offered a system restore option.
    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

    Thanks NooNoo i'll store that for future reference. This computer we had didn't have that option, just full restore and the computer refused to boot from our copy of winxp home.

    Thanks Danimal. So far most xp machines where I've NEEDED to boot to the cd it hasn't worked, though the times I didn't need to it worked just fine. I guess I'm Special
