[H] Can't get into XPSR2

[Anthony Q. Martin]

I have a PC that all of a sudden, won't let me boot into XP.  I get to 
that screen that says that Windows didn't shut down normally. You have 
30 sections to pick an option - 3 safe modes and 1 load last known good 
system. I've tried all options and I can't get pass this.  Basically, if 
i just let it sit its in an endless loop.

What to do?
This is supposed to be my "ripping" machine, so it has lots of iPod 
videos and movies I made on there, and some AVI movies for the laptop, 
too, so I'd hate to lose that stuff.
