Thanks to all for your suggestions. Unfortunately there was not much
I could do. Once I got into my BIOS I reset everything back to the
default settings. Once I did that I was finally able to boot of my
boot disk. I got into the recovery console but there was not much
that I could do from there. I tried to delete the file that I thought
was causing the problem but this did not do anything because the
computer ended up stalling at a different file name after that. The
computer I was fixing was not mine so it was hard to say what had
happened to it before I got it. I am thinking that it may have been a
virus that infected the computer. The computer was an old 1ghz
celeron which had windows xp loaded on top of it a week before the
problem occured. I was looking through its BIOS and it only had
support for windows 98 and windows 2000 and an option for 'other' for
its operating system settings. So I am thinking that this could have
been the problem also. Also one other thing that had happened to it
was that sbc yahoo dsl was loaded on top of it as well. So maybe any
one of those three events was the cause of it. But basically the only
thing that I was able to do to get it to work again was what many of
you suggested, reformat my drive and start all over. This time I am
going to put the operating system that originally came with the system
on top of it.

Hope someone else can get some help from this. Thanks to all for your
help and replies.
