I probably wouldn't even trust the hard disk again after a failure as they are so cheap. If there are files on there you need, then you could set it as a slave and put on another machine before getting at them to back them up. You can boot up using your XP disk and try to do the install and when it prompts for the volume on C drive it should give you an option to repair this volume.
