Win XP Pro Pc won't boot.

[algae]

Hi all,
Here's what is going on with my Win XP Pro Pc. It will post, etc, but goes to the Boot in Safe Mode, etc. screen. From there, no matter what I choose....Normal Boot , Safe Mode, etc, reboots back to the same screen. It sees the hard drives, Ram, etc.
I would do a restore using my Acronis image but there is some recent data on there that I don't want to lose unless I have to.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Gary

Have you tried using the WinXP 'RECOVERY CONSOLE TOOL' yet?

Not yet. I will have time to work more with it today. However, I have imaged the drive with Acronis ( approx. 5 days ago) and as there have been only a few minor changes since, I decided to restore the image. Acronis hung on the "Analyzing the C drive" stage and then reported that it couldn't read some parts of the drive. I think the drive is gone.

take that drive to another pc as slave see if you can access the data

I can see the drive during the POST but not in windows.
