if using an hp or a model that had windows pre installed you have a secondary
partition onn the drive for a restore partition. thus upon reboot you hit f10
and it will go into thesystem restore and give you two options, a basic
reinstall of all drivers and pre loaded software or a complete format and
restore. the first option leaves all your files intact so you don't lose
anything vital the second wipes the drive clean and starts again. if you are
using the aftermarket oem version or your drive is not set up with a restore
partition you may be able to get it to overlay everything from the install
disk. if not your screwed back up what you can as you have no choice and
start again with a fresh instaLL

I do believe my Windows XP Media Edition registry is clobbered. I removed a.
trojan and now XP will come up but when I try to log on it starts to logon
and then logs off immediately. I've run a repair to no avail. It reacts the
same way when trying to come up in safe mode. I've copied the userinit.exe
to wsaupdater.exe and still logs you off. I really hate to wipe out my hard
drive and reinstall the OS. Is there any way to reinstall the OS without
formating the HD?
Thanks for any help.
