Okay, when your computer starts, press F8, so the bios management screen comes up, navigate that and change the Boot Order so that it's something like this:
1. CD ROM
2. Floppy Disk
3. Hard Disk Drive
Restart your computer and insert yout Windows XP disk, when this starts up and runs, don't press install new, press "repair". Then navigate your way so that cmd comes up (can't remember the exact way, but it's easy to get to). Then I think you type in "fixboot" without the "".
That should probably fix the problem with booting up your computer, if it doesn't then come back.
ill try this out and get back (hope it wrks)

running in safe mode is a good idea tho!
Probably because the computer was running too hot and needed some time to cool down?
If he can't boot, chances are he won't be able to get into safe mode, as safe mode needs all of the .dlls to run, chances are one of these is corrupt.
I am getting into safe mode.. the problem only persists when i try to get into normal mode vich wrks all the same if i try like 20 times
ill wrk on ur previous suggestion
