I have a partition recovery disk that restarts windows. I saw there was also a feature to repair Windows too, and I think thats what you are looking for. Basically, you have to go into the BIOS and set the boot order to be CD-ROM first if it already isn't. Then put in the CD-ROM and restart. It will read from the CD instead of your hard drive. Then it will start Windows recovery. From here you have a DOS menu and you can choose from there whether to do a repair, or a clean install.
According to my BIOS, all I can do with the recovery partition is basically erase all of the files and make the computer as it was when it was purchased. I REALLY don't want to do that. I have some summer homework assignments on there and I can't do them again.
