	My wife and son's WinXP laptop will not boot into WinXP at all - not even in 
safe mode. It is seriously hosed. It's a dual-boot laptop, and can start up 
in SuSE 9.1 Pro with no problems. I can read the WinXP NTFS partition. I've 
saved some critical docs to an external drive. Problem is, I can't read them. 
KWord doesn't know how to handle .wps. OpenOffice can't open them properly. I 
tried on my W2K office laptop, and Word2K can't open the WPS documents. Any 
recommendations? I think it's Microsoft Works format.

	If I could figure out how to open and edit the documents, I'd just leave 
WinXP busted and stick with SuSE 9.1 (provided I could get wireless working). 

	Alternatively - and I know this is off-topic - does anyone know how to 
restore a WinXP OEM system that was not shipped with Emergency start-up CDs 
or any software on CD at all? I'd hate to go buy that software when there is 
a better alternative already working on the laptop (except for Linksys WP54G 
wireless).
