RE: [URGENT] Cant start up Windows!
Sounds like your HD might've kicked the bucket I'm afraid. This happened to me a while back - the disk read / write head on the second platter died, so I could access the stuff to get the loading screen, but as soon as the NTFS Windows driver kicked in the whole thing died.

To check this, get your Windows XP install CD out and run "chkdsk C: /R" (sans quotes) from the recovery console.
