If you can get to the DOS level of your windows XP system, try looking into the C:WindowsSystem32config folder. This is where your registry is. Once there, copy your SYSTEM and SOFTWARE files (current registry files that are likely corrupted at this point) and overwrite them with the SYSTEM.sav and SOFTWARE.sav files that should be there. These files are automatic backups that windows makes when updating the registry. This trick saved me last summer when my system went down.
