No, there are no tools. The only thing available from MS is a set of
bootable floppy disks:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310994
But I suspect if you use these to try a repair it will expect you to have
the CD in your drive. The only thing I can think of is if the contents of a
XP Home CD are in a folder on the C:\ drive. Some manufacturers do this &
you may be able to access these during the repair or you could locate them
when booted into XP Pro & copy them to a CD. Sometimes the folder name is
i386 but you will still need the OEM key which should be on a label on the
PC.
Best of luck, post back your progress.

Its a legal XP Pro cd, it's for one of his other computers, we are not
going to activate it, just use it to get us out of this hole and to find a
way of fixing the XP Home installation. Then we will remove this XP Pro
install.
Ok, so now I need to find an XP Home cd to repair this.
Is there any download from microsoft that just has recovery tools which is
burnable to a bootable CD?

If you change main components (motherboard) then you need to carry out a
repair install. If the system is XP Home then you would need to carry out
a repair with a XP Home disk. If it is OEM and you didn't get a disk then
you may need to save all your important files and do a clean install. You
say you have XP Pro on disk if this is a legal copy then you could use
that for the clean install.

'Hi everyone,
Boot problem, new motherboard and psu, now it gets are as loading
drivers in Safe Mode mup.sys then restarts.
Windows XP Home.
Replaced the motherboard with a very similar motherboard but from a
different manufacturer, it has the same main chipset on it. Also, using
the same cpu/ram/hdd/cd so no other hardware change except for the
motherboard and psu.
Problem:
Select normal boot and system will get as far as blackscreen where it
*should* load the XP loading screen but it doesn't get that far, instead
if restarts.
Safe Mode - F8 - Gets as far as loading the drivers, about 25 are being
loaded, and then it always stops on MUP.SYS. Everytime. Not sure if
it's MUP.SYS that has problem, or the thing after it.
I don't have a win xp home cd, just an xp pro cd. A bit stuck here.
I did try loading up XP Pro temporarily on a seperate folder so that I
could get to the hard drive using Explorer and see if any files were
corrupt, or try to do some maintenance from inside XP Pro, but I'm a bit
stuck now.
I also tried to do some repair using the XP Pro cd before I installed XP
Pro, but that didn't seem to help.
Please can you help?
