Sound like windows xp is corrupt its trying to start but missing files. Deleting the partition you will lose the everything you know this? Files and drivers! There is a link below make no sense to recreate the wheel.

If you have a Windows XP cd, you can try booting to it and doing a repair of the OS partition from the Recovery Console. If not, you can just boot to the CD, delete the existing partition(s) and install Windows XP cleanly again. Hopefully you won't have to replace your hard drive first.
