try to repair by booting from the xp CD then reinstall SP2.
even if you can restore you still run the risk of retaining the virus.
put the OS disk in the drive and do a complete reinstall of the OS.  Delete the partition and all.

my pc infected by  w32.virut.w    this virus log off my xp before start.
Norton Antivirus 2008 you can boot right from the CD and remove the virus right from the start.  Then you will be able to get back into your system and determine the damage at that point.  At least at that point you will be able to backup your data if you have to do a fresh clean install.
