Hi Kyle,
Sorry to hear it didn't work. I need you to run a little experiment for me.
If this allows you to get into Windows XP it is not fixed, but we will get a
good indication of what is wrong.

I want you to slightly modify Disk 6 of the recovery console boot disks
On a working PC open notepad and type dcpromo then save the text file as
dcpromo.log onto Disk 6, which will need to be in your diskette drive

On the machine that will not start properly use the recovery disks to enter
the recovery console as before.
In the Recovery Console type the following at the prompt

copy a:\dcpromo.log c:\windows\debug
attrib +R c:\windows\debug\dcpromo.log

There will not be acknowledgement that anything much has happened, but you
should just be returned to the prompt without any error message. Now exit
the recovery console and reboot Windows from the hard disk. Tell me if that
allows you to get into Windows. If it does remember this is not fixed!!!!

You cannot start in Safe Mode is that correct?
