So, all of a sudden, after working fine.. when I try to boot up into Windows XP, it gets stuck at the logo/loading bar screen. I have to force shutdown via the power button, and hold my alt.option key at startup to get back to OS X.

What's up ? Why did XP just decide to take a powder ? Is there a way I can back-up my installed stuff and re-install Windoze ?

You should be able to boot off your XP disc and do a repair, which should leave your data intact. Never done it myself, but I believe you can do a re-install of the OS as well, leaving user data.
