Do you have a USB CD-ROM by any chance installed ?? Also did you by any chance use any Registry Cleaning tools lately.
A possible fix is available depending on your answer to the above 2 questions

Thanks for all the responses.
I did run the Dell diagnostic utilities which checked everything from memory
to cache to hard disk. It ran for about 6 hours and every test passed.
It will not boot into safe mode or any of the safe mode variants, such as
safe mode with command prompt, or safe mode with networking. It will not boot
using the last known good configuration. EVERY attempt to boot into windows,
including using the XP CD fails.
I know that I am booting from the CD because I changed the boot sequence and
it asks me to hit any key to boot from the CD. It then displays the scrolling
list of all the files it is loading. Once that is done, it gives the messsage
"starting windows", then immediately gets the BSOD.
When trying to boot windows from the hard drive, I get the following stop
error:
0x00000024(0x0019023,0x8AFD2480,0xC0000102,0x00000000)
There is no following explanatory error code. The first and second parameter
in the () changes some depending on whether I try booting normally or into
safe mode, etc. The third and fourth parameters remain the same.
When I try to boot from the CD I get the following stop error:
sx0000007B(0xF78DA63C,0xC0000034,0x00000000, 0x00000000)
Again, there is no additional error message to go along with the stop error
code.
It does not automatically restart when it encounters a BSOD.
I would love to be able to get to a DOS prompt so I could run chkdsk, but so
far, no luck.
I do have the hardware to pull the drive and attach it to another PC to
backup the files. Would it be possible to run chkdsk on that drive while it
is connected as an additional drive on another PC?
Any further suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Please post a copy of the Stop Error report?
Disable automatic restart on system failure. This should help by
allowing time to write down the STOP code properly. Keep pressing the F8
key during Start-Up and select option - Disable automatic restart on
system failure. Do not re-enable automatic restart on system failure.
Try Last Known Good Configuration?

0x00000024: NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM
A problem occurred within NTFS.SYS, the driver file that allows the
system to read and write to NTFS file system drives. There may be a
physical problem with the disk, or an Interrupt Request Packet (IRP) may
be corrupted. Other common causes include heavy hard drive
fragmentation, heavy file I/O, problems with some types of
drive-mirroring software, or some antivirus software. I suggest running
ChkDsk or ScanDisk as a first step; then disable all file system filters
such as virus scanners, firewall software, or backup utilities. Check
the file properties of NTFS.SYS to ensure it matches the current OS or
SP version. Update all disk, tape backup, CD-ROM, or removable device
drivers to the most current versions.

Windows lost access to the system partition or boot volume during the

You may be able to access and recover the data on the drive by placing
