Are you able to boot off the Windows XP CD, choose to INSTALL Windows,
then press R to repair it (after choosing to install, it will offer you
this)? You say it hangs after "Starting Windows" but have you left it
alone for a while? You may want to try setting your BIOS settings to
the default settings too and see if that helps ;)
