help with windows

not sure this does be long in tech so sorry

i have window xp. earlier tonight i had to a system restore. i was waiting for the window to come up after windows starts up. but my cat sat on my surge protector's switch. now windows is running. but i cann't bring up system restore or the help center. my sister suggest trying inserting my windows cp disk and trying to repair windows but i cann't find a option to do it. do i need to reformat?
 
Placing the Windows CD should bring up a menu where you can reinstall over your current copy of windows, I think?
 
thanks i do have fixed now. found out after i got done getting back operational that mcafee was the route of my problem. what it did have i idea but after uninstalling my computer was ok... i guess may accidently messed it up. but still my cat is on the hook:P
