— the line you see (multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\Windows\system32\drivers\mup.sys) is the boot sequence printing an ARC path and the name of the driver it just loaded. MUP (mup.sys) is the Multiple UNC Provider (a kernel network redirector), so that message by itself usually means Windows has reached the network/UNC provider stage — it’s a timing clue, not proof mup.sys is the root cause. See Microsoft’s MUP documentation. (Also note was right to flag those lines as the normal driver-load output.) MUP documentation

Commonly the system appears to “hang at mup.sys” because something happens immediately after it — for example Autochk/chkdsk runs (which can take a long time), or a later driver or disk error prevents progress. If the drive light is active while the screen looks frozen, let it run; if it reboots or stays frozen quickly, you need to act. Microsoft Q&A threads document this exact symptom and explain how chkdsk can make Safe Mode appear stuck at mup.sys. Why Safe Mode can stop after mup.sys / chkdsk note

Practical checklist (do these in order, don’t skip the backups):

  1. Observe HDD activity for several minutes; if activity is continuous, allow a scheduled check to finish.
  2. Boot the XP CD (or a recovery boot image) and run the Recovery Console chkdsk: from RC run chkdsk C: /r. Microsoft’s Recovery Console notes show how to reach this environment. Recovery Console / chkdsk instructions
  3. If chkdsk fails or the disk shows many bad sectors, remove the drive and copy important files from another machine or a USB enclosure before further attempts.
  4. If you recently reinstalled the OS, confirm the Boot.ini ARC path/partition is correct (multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(X) points to which partition); use bootcfg /rebuild or edit Boot.ini only after backing it up. Boot.ini / ARC path explanation (KB archive)
  5. If nothing else works, back up data and perform a repair (in-place) install or a clean reinstall — repair steps and caveats (SP levels, drivers) are covered in XP repair guides; @benmar’s suggestion to use the installer is a sensible later step. Windows XP repair-install guide

If you want, post the exact text of any STOP/BSOD code or whether the machine reboots, and that narrows which of the checklist steps to try first.

When booting into safe mode you will always get those lines. It's basically the system loading up all the drivers and the such. it does the same when you boot into normal mode you just don't see it.

But as for not being able to load into Windows. does it lock up somewhere? does it reboot? does it give you any sort of error message?
Also, when you boot into safe mode is it stopping on that screen with the multidisk lines on it?
