Hi if you have a windows official disc then you can try and do a repair
install follow this guide
http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm or narrowed down below

XP Repair install

Please read carefully and make sure you followed the warning links before
initiating the Repair Install. You can print a text version for reference.
repair.txt

Boot the computer using the XP CD. You may need to change the boot order in
the system BIOS so the CD boots before the hard drive. Check your system
documentation for steps to access the BIOS and change the boot order.
When you see the "Welcome To Setup" screen, you will see the options below
This portion of the Setup program prepares Microsoft
Windows XP to run on your computer:

To setup Windows XP now, press ENTER.

To repair a Windows XP installation using Recovery Console, press R.

To quit Setup without installing Windows XP, press F3.

Press Enter to start the Windows Setup. do not choose "To repair a Windows
XP installation using the Recovery Console, press R", (you Do Not want to
load Recovery Console). I repeat, do not choose "To repair a Windows XP
installation using the Recovery Console, press R".
Accept the License Agreement and Windows will search for existing Windows
installations.
Select the XP installation you want to repair from the list and press R to
start the repair. If Repair is not one of the options, END setup.

Setup will copy the necessary files to the hard drive and reboot. Do not
press any key to boot from CD when the message appears. Setup will continue
as if it were doing a clean install, but your applications and settings will
remain intact.


Blaster worm warning: Do not immediately activate over the internet when
asked, enable the XP firewall before connecting to the internet. You can
activate after the firewall is enabled. Control Panel - Network Connections.
Right click the connection you use, Properties and there is a check box on
the Advanced page.


Reapply updates or service packs applied since initial Windows XP
installation. Please note that a Repair Install using an Original pre service
pack 1 or 2 XP CD used as the install media will remove SP1/SP2 respectively
and service packs plus updates isssued after the service packs will need to
be reapplied.

Hope this helps

Please note: If you don't know what you are doing in the BIOS, you can turn
your computer into a paperweight. You might be better off finding a
computer-savvy friend or hire a techie.
