When you get to the choice of boot up options, that has "safe mode" etc listed, see if there is an option that says "disable auto restart" there isn't always, it depends on your XP installation, but if there is, choose that and reboot. Then write down everything written on the blue screen and post back.

Try repairing your windows installation. Boot from XP cd. On the first option press "R" (not enter). It might as for keyboard layout & language just select the correct ones. Now you will see that you have a somewhat command prompt window. At "which windows installation ..." type in the number 1, then press enter @ administrator password just press enter (if you do have an administrator password enter it). At the next option C:\ ... enter chkdsk /rsxp & press enter. This process may take a while. When done type exit.
NOTE: AT "which windows installation ..." if you do not see (just above that 1 C:\Windows or 2 C:\Windows then your windows installation is severly damaged. In that case i would suggest a reload.
