Reconfigured to prior date, lost power during restart, it there any way to
bring it back without the install disk, someone else installed it.

while booting press F8 to get boot options, select safe mode or restore to
last settings that worked if its available. Once it boots to safe mode
(hopefully it does) restart normally and hopefully this helps you out. Let me
know if you have more problems let me know what they are and we can go from
there.
