The countdown is suspicious and sounds like a virus. If your antivirus
software has boot disks that allow you to run your virus program without
booting XP, I suggest you do so.

Other than that, about all I can suggest is installing XP to a separate
partition and trying to copy the data files from the previous setup to the
new setup. If you don't have a spare partition, you'll need to use third
party software such as Partition Magic or System Commander for this purpose
and use their boot manager as well.
