[QUOTE="Smeggle, post: 3674105, member: 6132"] not a big job... couple of ways to repair but easiest is to do an operating system repair.. Do you have your operating system discs? (You need a full disc not just a basic oem).. Identify whether you have xp home or xp pro (look at your os sticker on base of laptop - your going to need this key anyway) Start laptop/insert disc and have it boot from there Follow the steps to do a fresh install of windows (Don't worry this is normal) At this point it will ask you if you want to 'repair' install a fresh copy.. choose repair... [URL="http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/topic/138-how-to-repair-windows-xp/"]You can see the stages here[/URL] [Important!!!] If your key has worn away on the label then the repair is slightly more difficult as the drive needs to be removed/accessed on a second machine to be able to recover the key via a program called Product Key or similar...(You will need the key!!) PM me if your not to sure how to do this and want it done. [/QUOTE]
