When I opened up the recovery partition it told me, whoa, wait a minute, run PC Doctor first.
I did and it passed every test except the it failed on the short test?
Can a virus do this?
Can I use the Recovery disc to maybe fix just the Winders XP files that may be out of whack?
Is it all a lost cause?

The recovery CDs might be able to fix the problem, if not they will do a format and reinstall everything. You might lose your files.
IF there is a recovery partition you should be able to hit a key at boot time and it will recover from that instead
Any bootable CD in the CD tray should boot up, if not you need to enter into the sys bios. You'd need to shut down completely and as soon as you turn the PC on hit the DEL key, If its not that it would be some other key like f11
