With my xphome, sometimes when I have a power failure and it freezes during
the boot or doesn't do it all, I reboot a couple of times and it magically
fixes itself. Don't ask me why and I have no idea if this is the same
problem. Just an observation. I really do need a battery backup. I have Time
Warner and want to plug in their modem. Is this recommended?
Recommendations________________as to brand and model number?

You can attempt to restore this file by using the original
Windows setup CD. Select R at the first screen to start repair.
Now the question:
When we did this we got the message that everything would be lost, so
we went no further.
Seems to me that in an earlier discussion someone said that
after you hit restore you would then get other choices, one of them
being "repair" and that only when you made a selection would
the action begin.
Win you boot from the XP CD, you should get a prompt giving you several
choices. I think the default is to "setup Windows XP now". That's a full
installation and it probably will wipe out what's currently on your
disk. But you should also see "To repair a Windows XP installation using
Recovery Console, press R". That will do a repair install, which will
leave the current contents of your disk intact.
Is it possible that your computer came with a "restore CD" instead of a
system CD? Those things are good only to restore your computer to the
way it left the factory, destroying all data and installed programs in
the process.
