Hi Paul
I haven't got access to an XP Recovery CD to see what it may contain. You could contact your PC supplier to see if they can help. It is possible that they installed a hidden partition on the hard drive for such a problem as this.

| Unfortunately, I can't even type anything into the
| recovery console (from the article: At the Recovery
| Console command prompt, type the following lines, pressing
| ENTER after you type each line). At the prompt from the
| recovery console, I can only type "1" to select which
| installed Windows I would like to select from ("1:
| C:\WINDOWS")... Sorry this is so difficult; it's probably
| not helping that I'm not that computer literate, either...
