Changing config files could be problematic.

I would suggest booting from an XP cd and choosing the repair option. That way you can keep your data and all your system files should be restored to working order

Then all that you can really do is reinstall windows unfortunately. Luckily you have access to the drive from linux, so at least you can back up all your files
