I think I have traced the problem to a bad hard drive. The
120GB Video Drive appears to be corrupt. I am trying to
reformat it. Basically, as XP is loading it is getting an
error on that drive and causing the system to restart. Then
it goes into a loop doing that. The drive is showing up in
BIOS just fine, though.

The event log is full of stop errors referencing the Video
Drive.

Once I get restored and get some stuff backed up I'm just
gonna do a clean reinstall of XP and start over.
