sounds like what happened to me a few weeks ago:
whenever i tried to boot windows xp, is said the was a problem with the file called "lsass.exe" which is a very important memory administration process, if im not mistaken.
When i tried to boot in safe mode, i went to system restore, and it didnt find any of the restore points! 
i know there were loads of them, but at the time it didnt find them.
So i ended up transfering all important files from the main HDD to the auxiliary one that i just use for storing, then formatting and reinstalling windows.
now everthing works fine

Before trying auto repair, try restoring in safe mode (press F8 during boot)

If you boot from your windows CD, dont press f8 or anything, just press any key, when it says "Press any key to boot from CD..."
The screen will go blue, and windows will go load all teh relevant drivers and what not for a windows install.
There is a repair thing later on in this process.
