    Are you asking if people here on the forum can point you to a download of Windows? No, we can't.

    Try to get into safe mode by tapping the F8 key on boot

    If you can get into safe mode, try to do a system restore from there

    You can ask around for anyone you may know that has a disk with XP and see if you can copy

    If someone has pro edition and not home, that would do

    Have you tried to get into safe mode

    If you get a hold of an xp disc, try a repair installation
