It has been very long since I used XP, so I am not sure. I do see lots of articles on this topic, which you can find by searching Bing or Google for "XP repair install" or similar query. For example, here is one article that I found.

Good luck with it, and please don't forget to back up your data first!

Thanks. Plus, I work for a large data protection systems company so backing up, imaging, taking snapshots and living in the information life-cycle is almost a religion with me. I am protected.

That's a good link. I may try that this weekend.

The one hitch in the process is going to be on reboot. After I run setup and select the Repair install option, Windows will reboot the box. It will be interesting to see if the rest of setup runs because normally, with the XP CD in, the reboot hangs and says, "NTLDR not found, press enter to reboot."

I may wind up quitting at that point and start drinking. Or reimage and just leave it the way it is. Usable but kludgy.
