Windows XP not loading
 

Hi, I've recently been having a problem with XP not loading at startup. It gets to the loading screen, tries to load for about a minute, and then restarts. I've tried booting from safe mode and all that, but the same thing keeps occurring. At one point, it gave me a message that some system file is corrupted. I didn't get a chance to write down exactly what it said since it flashed by quickly.

Any advice for fixing this would be very helpful, thanks.

Have you tried using the XP installation disc to make a repair?
You can find instruction for this here.

Best Advice. Repair windows using your installation CD and then make sure you run an updated antivirus immediately after repair.
