The Recovery Console is done with the XP CD. You should be able to get there.

You would need to either get into the Recovery console or Windows to do that.

So what should I do now? I mean, is there a way to recover my data from my hard disk? That's all I really care about right now.

Do you think I can boot Knoppix and copy my files to an external drive or something?

Take it out of that system and put it in this one and access it with a working OS to recover the data. That is about it.
