1. You need the XP CD. using your "friends" XP Pro on XP Home is not
recommended.

2. You CAN uninstall SP2 from the Recovery Console, but you need the admin
password. if you didn't set an admin password, just press "Enter" when it
asks for the password (as in, it's a blank password. it says that on the
screen!)

Invest in one then. Everyone should have a CD of the OS they are using.

Have read on the link below. If your friends XP version was the same version
[explained in the link] , you can use it to do a repair install. It may not
completely fix our all your problems, but it will allow you to access your
important data so you can backup. You must use your own product key.
