Have faith :) Win XP (much as I hate to admit it) is extremely hard to permanantly break. I've had to fix various problems over the last year or so (hard drive letters changing, corrupted boot sectors, windows just plain screwed up) and I still haven't had to format. If you have access to another computer, you can download the Win XP setup files for floppy (run over 6 discs). It takes a while to load, but it should allow you to access the windows installation, which has repair capabilities.
