DO you have a XP install CD? If so you can do a couple things:
1. Run sfc /scannow from a Command Prompt window.
2. Do a Repair Install.

When I went through with "Repair Install" (following the link instructions), I received a PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA just after I hit enter to go to Licence Agreement....

This sounds like the hard drive is having problems and when chkdsk runs it clears it up until the next time.
I would go to the web site of the hard drive manufacturer and download their drive utility/diagnostic. This is normally a .ISO file that you use to create a bootable CD from. Do that then boot it and run the diagnostic, see if it finds any problems with the hard drive.
If you don't know the drive manufacture, you can install System Information for Windows (SIW). Run it, expand Storage Devices under the Hardware section. That will tell you the manufacturer and model number.
If it runs clean then I would download Memtest86+ (you want the 2nd one Download - Pre-Compiled Bootable ISO (.zip)). Unzip it then create a CD from the iso file using your CD burning software. There is a good freeware burner called ImgBurn which will do this easily.
Boot the CD and run for at least 3 complete passes unless it shows errors sooner than that.

What about doing a System Restore? I know there is a recovery point that was previous to this issue happening?
