if you cant access your pc (explorer) then the only choice left is to re install xp. the pc should detect the cd if its an original one. set the boot sequence in the bios to boot from cd first.

Yeah, i would use a linux recover disk (Knoppix or something) to back everything up, and then just reinstall windows. It sounds like a vital system file got corrupted.
