If you have tried all the different boot options, I would recommend using a Linux utility to backup your data, and then using an XP CD to get to the Recovery Console and try to repair the drive (there is no guarantee it will preserve your data - it's like playing Russian Roulette with your info, I've seen it work and I've seen it fail).
Here's an MS guide to getting the Recovery Console up, and a link on there with commands

However, I believe this might be of more use to you - it has screenshots as well as a step-by-step for each of the different sections.

Just remember - this might wipe out your data!
