[dba-Tech] Win XP Repair?

Arthur,
 
There is a "recovery console" option available, but not an automatic repair
option...that I'm aware of.  The recovery console essentially provides you a
DOS prompt from which to copy/expand individual files from the .CAB files.
It is reached through setup.exe.  Of course you need the original
installation disk.  Here is a link to a brief tutorial with screenshots.

Does the Win XP install have a repair option? There are a few glitches after
my massive attack several days ago. For example, I cannot install a printer.
Will I have to do a complete reinstall or will it detect the current install
and give me a repair option? I guess I could just proceed and see what
happens, but that's a bit worrisome.
