Unfortunately, that's the drawback of the kind of setup you have. Your best
safeguard against this with this type of setup is to make frequent backups
and store them where you can get to them even if your hard drive fails.
Other repair options that we can offer require the XP CD and if this is a
relatively new computer, it's a good investment to help take care of issues
such as this.
As with anything else, there's no guarantee its options would fix the
problem but at least you would have other tools at your disposal though in
the event of a hard drive failure, even XP's tools won't help, for that,
again, you need a backup.
I'm assuming from what you've posted, your data is not backed up?
