can anyone help? ive tried entering safe mode and any other mode that it says, but i still cant get past that!

if there is no fix for it, is there a way to connect my hard from my win xp machine to my old one and copy the files i need? thank you very much for ANY help you can provide! thanksSS!!!

Boot from the CD and run the repair process. It should repair any problems with the start-up environment (which looks like your issue)

If you try hooking it to another xp machine and reading it as a second HD you will probly get the same error, only way I was able to fix this was to reformat the thing. sorry.

Boot to the Windows XP CD, choose Repair, then Recovery Console, then run chkdsk c: /p

See if that works.
