Xp loading error due to patitioning fault

[Genut]

Hi Guys n Gals
Hope this is the right place 2 post.
My Compaq EVO `XP pro copy´will not start into windows, I was attempting to finaly load a legitimate version of XPSP1,
I have my HD divided into 2 patitions C and D "D is empty" it loaded onto D, But I wanted it on C and continue using it the normal way.
Thinking if I get rid of the D partition it will load and replace or update the copy on C automaticly.
I started Partiton Magic (I think that was the program) followed the instructions, it said it will not work until I changed the cluster size so both partitions are the same, I followed the instructions and changed the size with the program, it shut,down and now it will not load windows,
I tried every option
Start normaly,
last good config.
with/without CD.
I always get the same blue sceen responce
Disable or unins. anti vir., disk defrag., or backup util., Run CHKDSK /F for HD corruption (how on XP)
Thechnical info
*** STOP: 0x00000024 (0x001901FD, 0x82E69238, 0xC0000102, 0x00000000)
I even started the attemt to reinstall XP from disk but it mentioned it will have to format C and all data will be lost,
There are too many family pics and baby pics for me to consider this.

Thank you for your time and effort. I try I get the same msg, A prob has been detected and Win has been shut down.........

You have a serious hardware failure. Memory, hard drive, video card... Motherboard

I have got it to give me the options Safe Mode, with networking,with Command Prompt, Last Good Config, Normaly.
I cannot get past this screen to start the Recovery console.
Is there another way I could try and at least transfer pictures from Pc to Laptop in its current state.

You will need to get your hands on an XP install CD and then look at this page:
