At this point you may be better off continuing the Windows re-install.
Just copy your important files and settings to a CD or other medium,
insert the XP CD and follow the prompts.
You could also try a system restore to a point before the initial error.
It's possible this is a problem with the boot.ini file (C:\boot.ini)
Post a copy of this file and we may be able to help with it.
