Clearly your brother destroyed your computer.

I believe the first step would be a safemode start, if you can get to that point... not sure I remember any kind of loading bar for XP, it was more like some green dots that move to the right and then reappear on the left usually about 10 or more times before it loads.

Try making/finding a windows XP disc and using the startup recovery.

Sounds like your hard drive is fried. Have you noticed it making any clicking sounds?

No matter what, your operating system is non-functional as it stands now... rebooting more than once isn't going to help.

You have a few options but all of them involve a windows install disc, which can be easily found online. Use the "Repair" option and if that doesn't work, you'll need to reformat.

I'm sure you don't want to lose your data so there's a few things you can do. If you hard drive is just corrupted and not fully bricked but windows repair doesn't work, you can use GParted to create a new partition in your blank space and install windows on that partition.

From there you should be able to access your old files if windows recognizes the old partition as a logical drive, otherwise you will need to use some data recovery software on the partition to recover your files.

If your hard drive is clicking that means that one of the write heads is striking one of the platters or the drive is repeatedly trying to recalibrate itself and failing. It's a quite common failure, often caused by sudden shock to the HDD, excessive dust damaging the delicate components of the HDD, manufacturing error, etc. Unfortunately the drive will need replaced.
