You need a Windows CD to get any further, so borrow one from a friend if you don’t have your own, make sure it‘s the same operating system, i.e. Home or Pro. What you're trying to achieve is to be able to start in safe mode so that you can find out what is causing the problem. This is the starting point :-
Boot from the XP CD (you may have to change the BIOS boot sequence) and let Windows ‘set up’, then select the first R for the Recovery Console. Type the Administrator password or press Enter if you haven’t set one.
When the command prompt (>) appears, type chkdsk /f /r (note the space) and press Enter.
Let us know if this finds/corrects any errors.
