Restore CD
You may create a "Hard Drive Image" of your system to restore the whole
hard drive to a good running system. Try 3rd pary software such as WinImage, or Ghost, or one of the other available programs. You may search www.google.com for Hard Drive Image software and you should get quite a few hits for creating a "Restore CD" "Rocket J. Squirrel" wrote in message ...

Restore CD
You could create an image of the drive at some point, which would be much
like the restore CDs that some of the oems use. You'd need a 3rd party program like Drive Image or Ghost. But that would do exactly what you don't want it to do -- it would restore the computer back to the point it was at when you made the image, thus wiping out any new files you've created. You're probably best off using your XP CD to do a repair install. Also, if you've got that many problems with the power, you'd also be wise to keep your important files backed up onto CDs or something. So far you've been lucky in that you've just had software problems. If the hard drive fails mechanically, you'll be faced with the choice of paying a recovery company hundreds of dollars to retrieve your files, or just losing them all. wrote in message ...
