is there a way to access the data on XP?

Several livecd distros like Knoppix already have ntfs support so you could access the XP data. You DO NOT want to format the partition before you get the data saved.
If your XP system is corrupted, it looks like a restore from backup is in order. If you don't have a backup ( for shame! ) then a re-install.
The XP install has a partitioning / format section which is best to use IMHO.
