Windows XP Pro Crash, HEEEELP!

Hello,
Yesterday my computer randomly restarted without warning, only windows wouldn't boot up. Not only that, I could not go back to the last time windows was working properly, nor could I boot in safe mode. Every option I choose it just restarts automatically.

So I put in my XP disc in and ran a repair, however after the repair it restarts and I'm back to square one.

Next I followed a ton of steps through the windows recovery console, copying and deleting files and so on. However I still could not get windows to boot up to finish the process.

So then I was going to install my Hard Drive into an old computer I have (as the secondary Hard Drive) and run a virus scan, but It didn't have a Serial ATA plug, so that was a bust.

So next (and this might have been a mistake) I installed XP Pro again, making sure I did not reformat my Hard Drive. So now I have two Windows XP Pros to choose from, one that still wont boot, and one that is the bare bones windows XP Pro.

This is a problem, because obviously my goal is to recover all of my data (wow I can't believe I don't have my files backed up).

So I have two windows folders, Windows (which is the my original OS) and Windows2 (the new one). Also in the system restore calendar there are no restore points, but that's for the new OS. I know somewhere deep in belly of Windows there should be several restore points, but I can't get to them.

So I guess I'm at a loss on where to go from here. Are there any files I can copy from my Windows2 folder to my Windows folder that will help it boot up. And if I get that original windows to boot up will I even be able to recover my files??
