Can you get into Safe Mode? If not, boot to your Windows XP CD and try a Repair. If that doesn't work, you can do a parallel install of the OS.

Is it Dell computer?
If the answer is YES, you should have a Recover-CD.
When you boot into CD you need to change Boot order (select DC-ROM in 1st) in BIOS.Kent

need to verify in your bios that the CD-ROM is the primary boot device. Then try booting to the CD.
