Well Jose, chkdsk did find problems and fixed them, but the trouble remains.
Next suggestion?

XP Home on a PC keeps cycling thru POST up to the XP LOGO screen, then PC

I tried to run recovery by booting the XP CD, but after I ran FIXBOOT from
command prompt and restarted the PC the same problem occurred.
All I need is to be able to read the hard drive long enough to copy two
files I need to a memory stick, then I can reformat the drive and start from
a fresh load. I tried to get these files by booting the XP install CD and
working from the Recovery Mode command prompt. But the system did not
recognize my memory stick and I also could not navigate anywhere except the
root directory or the Windows directory. I am having trouble finding a way to
boot Windows XP from a CD (other than the install CD).
Is is very, very, very unlikely that you will be able to access your
memory stick from Recovery Console.
You know now that fixboot is not the answer.
Navigating in RC is a little different that navigating with an XP
command prompt so it may not be that you can't navigate, it may be you
just don't know how.
When you boot RC, you should be in the C:\WINDOWS folder - is that the
case on your system?
It is good that you can boot RC though, so boot RC again and run
chkdsk on your drive(s), something along the lines of:
chkdsk c: /r
Then troubleshoot any remaining issues.
