Booted using 6 WINXP PRO boot files
Got to the Recovery Console.

Sound like your hard drive has developed a serious fault. You may be able to recover some of your files by fitting it as a slave drive, either on another system or in your system after fitting a new 'C' drive and installing Windows afresh. Some information on fitting a new drive, formatting it and installing Windows can be found Here
