The hard drive in my laptop starting throwing read errors and making funny noises so I backed up everything of value and installed a new hard drive. I installed the version of XP Home that I previously had on there with no issues. The machine runs faster now with a fresh install and lots of old software that was never used removed.
It sounds like your XP is hosed so I think at the minimum I'd try a repair install, but I generally believe that less problems are encountered with a fresh install. Still if your machine is already hosed and you've already backed up vital data, you have nothing to lose by trying a repair.
The key is backing stuff up before you do anything.
