Re: Restore
Tcassel,
Welcome to PCHF. Do you have your XP Install Disk that came with your computer?

Re: Restore
Without the XP Install Discs this could be an issue. If you had the ability to do a complete reinstall of the operating system (i.e. no more data, a clean install) I could guide you through it. Let's see if another tech has another idea. I've marked your thread as open in order for it to be up for discussion.

Re: Restore
Tcassel - Welcome!
Does this computer have a restore partition "built-in"? If you are not sure, we could try to find out for you if you could provide more information about the mfg and model of the system.
