Can Someone Walk Me Through Reinstalling Or Repairing Windows Xp Pro?

OK! I have a video driver corruption on agpCPQ.sys and am not able to load Windows in any way. I’ve tried just about everything (BIOS, Data Recovery, CMOS settings, CHKDSK etc) and nothing seems to work. My EMACHINE W3118 gets through the Windows load screen and then goes dark. I would prefer to repair Windows XP through the recovery console. I ran chkdsk with /f and even though the found error seems to have been fixed my computer is still not loading or displaying. I have also reinstalled Windows XP on my partition 1 (FAT32) because I was nervous about deleting all of my files on NTFS if this would not fix my problem. I am at the end of my rope and could use a step by step walk through on how to delete and reinstall Windows on NTFS partition (assuming thats what I should do) Can anyone help?
For a bit of background this all started when I tried to install a new VIdeo Card. I disabled and deleted the previous drivers and stopped the VGA Controller process only to discover that my new video card was not in all the way. It turns out that either this or all of the restarting corrupted the system driver file agpCPQ.sys

    In general you want to do a repair install and NOT use the repair console.
    Detailed instructions for a repair install are here http://michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairin…
    If you can no longer do a repair install, DO NOT reformat and reinstall as this will wipe you out and leave you with nothing but the operating system. You would have to reinstall all your programs and much of your data would be inaccessible.
    Reimage can repair your system even if a repair install fails. It costs a little but it is well worth it to save your data. It takes about 30 minutes and preserves your programs and data. If you are not happy with the results, you don’t have to pay and you can reverse any changes that it made. More information here http://www.askthecomputerdoc.com/blog/ca…
