Re: repairing win xp after power loss?

I take it that you can log on in XP - since you say your problem is
connection to Internet.
Try the easy steps first:
1. Check in Device manager that your CD drive is properly installed.
either Uninstall and reboot and install as you did the first time or
simply try another CD drive (from another machine, friends blah blah).
However, since the CD is recognized in BIOS, I assume it works OK. Try a
firmware update.
2. After having the CD drive working in XP, delete and redo your Internet
connections - in case that the XP Install CD is required. You can try
redoing the Internet connection without the CD drive being functional.
