help PLEASE: eMachine / restore windowsXP without losing data

[DaveZ]

help PLEASE!

i deleted some system files on my computer, an eMachine with WindowsXP
Home Editon, and on retart i got a messages saying "NTLDR is missing.
ALT CTL DEL to retart", for example. a restart only takes it back to
the same message.

i put in the eMachine restore CD and restarted it. i got 2 options. 1)
restore
Windows, but all data on my hard drive will be lost. 2) boot to A:\
prompt, which is set to my CD-ROM. no other drives are recognized.

i don't want to go with option 1), because i want to keep my datat on
the hard drive. with option 2), i don't know what to do in order to
restore Windows and keep the data at the same time.

help/advice/suggestions are all welcome!

thank you all very very much in advance!

Hello,

The way I see it Active@ uneraser can help you. It can effectievly
restore lost data, just give it a chance. It's algorithms are really
great.
