NTFS is something you don't want to have screwed up. You could try to do a repair from the XP disk like the last poster suggested, but I doubt that will work. You could try to fix the partitions with Partition Magic or something, but unless you're REALLY good with computers I wouldn't suggest that... you could easily screw things up beyond repair. A new 80GB OEM hard drive is not that expensive, so I'd suggest just replacing it. If you have stuff on your old drive that you need to save, ask the Compaq folks what your recovery options are. If they won't do it, I'm sure you can google up a company online that will do it for you. Depends on how important the data is. You could replace the drive yourself, but again I wouldn't attempt this unless you know your stuff.
XP is very emotional software...doesn't play well with others and doesn't take kindly to being removed.
