RE: [H] Can't get into XPSR2

First run and FDISK /R via recovery console in the XP CD. Next try a repair 
install. If that doesn't work, probably flaky hardware. I wouldn't worry 
about your data, it sounds like it's easily transferable by putting the disk 
in a working system.

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.
