It doesn't sound like the OP is able to even see anything in Windows.
Questions for the OP:
1. Can you see anything when you first turn on your computer (before
Windows loads)? Ex. The Windows Logo appears ok.
2. Can you can see the BIOS, etc. If so, try a repair installation. To
do this, boot off your Windows XP CD, select to install Windows, it will
find the existing installation and offer to repair it, press R to repair
and let Windows Setup do its thing.
