At boot... press F8.... select "boot from last known good configuration"... it's the *easiest* fix... if it works.

Translation:  If you didn't change anything in your hardware or BIOS,  you are F'd.

It sounds to me like there's a problem with the partition.  The only thing I can suggest is to try recovering the files from the drive by installing the drive in another machine (like was mentioned earlier).  This is the kind of error you really need a XP cd for.

You could try buying a new disc and running the repair utility, but if the HDD is toast, that won't help.  If you can mount the disc on another machine and access the files, you can at least save that stuff before you have to reformat and start over.

Flake:

I am going to get a copy of a XP CD from my brother and try to access the recovery console that way.  Hopefully you can access this with any XP CD.

You won't have a problem with licensing unless the version you have installed is something completely different (Home vs Pro vs Corporate (which is mass licensed Pro)).
