Can't resurrect system

Returned from holiday to find I can't boot my XP system. Examination with
another OS booted from CD shows that everything in the Windows directory has
disappeared!

When I try to start over with my original XP disk, the system gets as far as
"Loading Windows", with a brief flash of the Windows graphics screen, then
crashes with a blue screen "Windows has closed down to save your computer
from destruction", or words to that effect.

My Partition Magic floppies load, then hang with the hourglass centre stage.

I guess I need to reformat the hard disk, but how?

Tony
