In the case you describe, the highest probability of success is to boot
to Safe Mode and choose the optional mode "Last Known..." this
usually will allow the system to boot and ignore the changes made.
The problem now is you've taken too many steps/approaches to give
you a clearly defined solution. I'd still try a "Last Know working..."
on your original XP instance.

I'd be so grateful if anyone can help with this.
Last week loaded trial of Norton Ghost 14. After install software promted
for a reboot. Did this but system wouldn't load, got a real brief BSOD
with
error report P: C000021a session manager etc.... Safe mode would not
complete. I tried all the standard recovery consol tools, FIXBOOT, FIXMBR,
CHKDSK /f/r etc.
I performed recommended action in article
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B307545#top
which
dealt with BSOD and allowed recovery consol tools to work. Run tools but
no
result.
Safe mode boots up so that black screen appears with safe mode titles and
mouse pointer then once again defaults into reboot. Tried in place repair
from cd. Setup begins but when system reboots and then setup seeks to
continue get back into reboot cycle.
Really need this machine but want to avoid complete re-install as I have
will lose some stuff. I've installed fresh copy of winxp in another folder
on
HDD and have a remote registry manager but can't find anything that looks
like it may help.
Regards,
.
