Really grateful in advance for any help!

    Try booting off the Windows-XP CD, and choose the option to 'repair' a Win-XP installation.

    That recovery CD may do the job, although it also could just wipe out the HD and restore the HD to factory. Did you try it?
    Otherwise, I don't think that there are legal objections in borrowing a friend's WIN-XP CD to repair your installation - you *do* have a licence for your computer after all.
