Hi K. Is your neighbour a technical person? If so, ask him if he has a spare Hard drive, which he can use to load WINDOWS XP again, and then use your original drive as a slave drive, so he can copy all the stuff you need (document, pics, etc.) Then format your drive and re-install again. Alternatively, maybe your neigbhour can connect you hard drive to his PC, copy all your stuff and then format and re-install your hard drive.
It's a long way around, but will help to save your pics and stuff. Make sure he has a good anti-virus program first, so any viruses from your hard drive does not corrupt his hard drive.
Advice from here on once you sorted out, would be to copy your pics and stuff to an external hard drive or CD ever so often.
Hope this helps.
