Guess whose computer crashed?

Easy thing for me to do in these situations if the repair fails is to just boot into Safe Mode (I think you have to keep pressing F8 before the XP loading screen comes up) and choose it. Then just restore computer to an earlier point.

If you reinstall XP, you can keep your old user's files under Documents and Settings. Just make one user with a different name when setting XP up. Plus, it runs faster. The only downside of a reinstall is that none of your programs will work. But they'll all be there. It's definitely perfect for backing up files.
