What are the details of the computer please. Branded if so make and model pls.
Do you have the XP installation CD (do not worry not going to suggest a reinstall)
If branded and one not provided with machine, then it will not be needed if there is a recovery partition on the hard drive.

Go back to Run. Type "Cmd" when that opens after the C:\ and whatever else is there type "cd\"
