HELP!!!! PLEASE!!!! :)

[aprila434]

Thank you for your quick reply, however we have tried the
F8 key, and it does not work. The only XP cd we have is
the recovery cd we got with the system, and there is NO
recovery console on it and we cannot seperate the XP
install from all the other program files that Fry's
Electronics placed on the recovery Cd! We are trying to
find a way to fix the damaged file without having to use
the Recovery cd, as it erases everything on the system and
re-installs it all at the same time.
Thank you again,
April & Dan
