I think it does if you mean system restore but i cant get into any mode being
safe or normal. I dont have a lot of knowledge about computers so you'll have
to be basic with me! Sorry.

Hi JD81,

Here is one of the many useful newsgroup posts of Late Mr.Alex Nichol,
Microsoft MVP:
http://groups.google.co.in/groups?selm=9cetl0tnu0un3vsomroh8vh1u6dh82luv8%404ax.com

If you don't have an XP CD, you may need to get the setup floppy disks to
enter Recovery Console.

ok then you need to add a cdrom to your machine...
once you do that you can bootup with your XP cd
and from the recovery console run chkdsk /f or chkdsk /r
and see if you can repair any errors...

if that does not work...
you may need to perform a reapir installtion

All im getting is a black screen white writting as usual in top left then
says NTLDR missing ctrl-alt-del to reboot & it just does the same thing
again, ive tried getting into safe mode by pressing f8 on boot up but it just
beeps!

I have a cd rom but no floppy drive.

I have a cd rom but no floppy drive, no windows xp disks were given when i
bought the machine.

I tried to get into safe mode by pressing f8 on boot up but it just beeps!

All im getting is a black screen, white writing top left as usual with NTLDR
missing ctrl-alt-del to reboot but it just does the same thing over again.
