Put another way, put the XP CD in the drive and press any key to boot from CD when the message pops up. When prompted to install or repair, select install. Don't panic - you aren't doing it yet. After a while an option will show up to repair your existing installation. Selecting that gives you a new setup which will include a folder called c:\windows.old and that contains all the files and folders needed to put the system back - almost to the way it was before the breakdown. I say almost because some programmes may need to be reinstalled.
