This seems to be my problem and It appears to be an easy fix. However, I cannot enter in to safe mode on start up. My keyboard is not on/recognized until XP starts and then it's obviously too late. Any suggestions?

If you're using a USB keyboard, and the computer has a serial port for a traditional keyboard, buy a USB->Serial adapter. If you're currently using a serial keyboard, you've got other problems; give us more information if possible.
