Hold down F8 during start up. There could be recovery options such as system repair or system restore.
Other than that, look in this forum, fourth post from the top, for the directions on a repair install.
The repair does not erase the files, and does not reformat the drive.
After you have repaired XP as above, back up all your personal files, in case of future problems.
