Correction: "Repair Console" below should be Recovery Console.
Unfortunately, AFAIK, System Restore won't run from the
Recovery Console.

A similar thing happened to my son's HP Pavilion laptop.
From the symptoms, it acted like the Sasser worm, but none of
the telltale files were present. XP's Repair Console would not
run, so I wound up repartitioning the free space and doing a
fresh XP install to the new partition. This allowed me to recover
the data from the old partition, and bought me some time
until I can analyze the problem at a later date, and to build an
XP CD with SP2 slipstreamed.
You will have to borrow an XP CD in order to try the Repair
Console or to attempt a repair install.
