Windows XP was designed to be self-repairing (because each new
boot is checked against its own database of how things should start)
and this usually works OK -- but only you can tell from the PC's
actual behavior whether it is now starting and running OK.

If you need more information:
1. Basic information is built into the WinXP Help files.
2. Advanced information is in the Microsoft book
Microsoft WindowsXP Inside Out, by Bott & Seichert
and on websites e.g.
http://aumha.org/win5/kbhrdwar.htm
3. If you experience malfunction, write down what happened,
check these three sources, then post a message here if you
cannot find what you need.
