One more thing to try:

Boot the PC from the XP CD (set boot sequence in BIOS setup). Select Setup > F8 > Install > Repair. Do not use the Recovery Console. Let it run and try again on restart.

I would try changing the driver for the SiS Open Host Controller to Standard OpenHCI Host controller too.: Open System Information (MSINFO32.EXE) and navigate to Hardware Resources > IRQs. Click anywhere in the right pane and then press CTRL-A and then CTRL-C. You have copied that data to the clipboard.
