We can get it to do a clean install if it comes to that (and it appears that it has). I always like to see if we can get things going without losing your data...What confuses me is that it won't even let me reinstall Windows.

You will need a Win98SE Startup diskette. Download this to your desktop, double-click the downloaded file and put a floppy disk in the floppy drive when prompted to do so.
Let me know when you have the startup disk ready and we'll get you going.

The only repairs I am aware of for this issue is to do the repair installation (tried and failed) or to replace the registry hive (also tried and failed). That leaves us with the clean install option.
Your call....

Boot with the above download bootdisk
You do not need CD-rom access at the moment, so boot without cd-rom at the menu
at the prompt, type
fdisk
<enter>
select delect NON-DOS partition
Select your partition
delete it
remove the floppy drive, insert the windows xp cd
follow the windows setup instructions
