If you have access to another XP computer, you could try creating a BartPE
boot CD that can be used to find out what the problem is and effect a repair.

Or you could try using the recovery methods on this page:

There is also info on it about creating a BartPE CD.

Maybe you can get the Recovery Console to work in order to try some of the
recovery commands.
