the only way to fix this is to blow windows away and reinstall it. The reason it is restarting is there is an error in the mbr and your error recovery is set to restart. I have never been able to get into safe mode on a system with bootcamp.

If you can get sighted assistance, I would attempt to load windows in safe mode, and run the command "chkdsk /f /r C:" from the command-prompt to force windows to check the partition on next boot. I know you said Disk Utility tried repairing things, but my experience has taught me to generally use the parent OS for a particular partition type, as it generally knows the most about the filesystem and partition it resides on. If that doesn't work, you may need to boot your XP media and use recovery mode. Luke
