A friend of mine just called. He has a HP 4200+ CPU (about 1 year old) and
just got a message that he needs to go to Windows Setup and use the Repair
action.
How can he do that since Windows XP was installed by HP and he does not have
the Windows XP installation disks?

One disadvantage of multiposting as opposed to crossposting is that you have
to check all newsgroups to which you originally posted and each one may have
a different set of answers. For example - this case.
Please check your other posting(s) for the answers i know you have been
given already.

Search for the i386 directory on the C: drive. Usually in C:\WINDOWS\i386
Once you find it go to start - run and tyoe in regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup
Data Type: REG_SZ [String Value] / Value Name: SourcePath
Value Data: [Enter the location where you copied the \i386 folder]
Example: A valid entry would be D:\I386
Modify/Create the Value Name [SourcePath] according to the Value Data

Exit Registry and Reboot
