    Did you try from the Safe Mode options to Start Last Known Good Configuration?

    Also you can try in Safe Mode a System Restore to a point prior to the problem:

    start > All Programs > Accessories > System tools > System Restore

    If still no luck do you have your XP CD? If so try the Recovery Console and try to run the command FIXBOOT

    Thank you jephree
    for your prompt reply
    I did put my recovery disc in but cancelled it as it would have formatted the drives
    so what i did i let the pc run until it righted its self and it did after an hour lol
    then rebooted to make sure it was ok and it was fine
    don`t know how long for tho

    Most XP CD's have an option prior to a format/re-install to use the Recovery Console.

    This of course depends on the manufacturer of the CD. I assume that you have an OEM CD i.e. XP was pre-installed on your computer?

    Anyway glad all is well at the moment.

    Let us know if we can help further in the future.
