my hard disk shows that about 56% free space left, same as before the recovery, so I'm pretty sure my computer still has the old files.

CORRECT WAY TO DO WINDOWS RESTORE/REPAIR
Use xp disk as you would to do a normal install at the instalation screen pick repair windows leave file system as it is this will re install windows but leave your files as they are on the computer
all that will not be available are any updates that you installed due to your windows being back to its original install DONOT pick the change file system or your drive will be auto formatted that is a clean install that destoys all on the hard drive you will still need your serial number to re install
