   There are cliff notes at the bottom of this for a qucker answer

   How in the world did you even run Windows XP??? Windows XP alone takes up a minimum of a quarter of your harddrive. I recommend taking out your harddrive and bringing it to someone who can transfer your files to something external. Something else you can do is get just buy a new computer and bring both to a tech support company that can backup important files, or if you feel adventurous you can pop it open and plug in your old harddrive in the place of a DVD player in your computer (they both use the same power adapter cable and IDE connection cable).

   I think that computer should just be trashed, its not even worth donating because the only thing you will be able to do is Windows 98.

   Cliff Notes: Save your files to an external source, trash this comp and get a new one

   Wow.. Hmm.. By recovery console, did you mean the "repair" function that comes with the Windows XP disk? If not, try that. If that doesn’t work, try to get into the comand prompt (by doing something about not reading from hard drive for an OS in the BIOS) and just format and reinstall…

   Good luck!
