Windows XP won't Start

I was using Acronis Disk Director Suite 10 to partition my hard drive
and upon the necessary reboot after the start up screen nothing
happened. I waited for a while to no avail. So I manually restarted
my laptop and the same thing continued to happen. I tried starting up
in safe mode and was able to get in the first time I tried but while
trying to do a system restore i received an error that told me that
SecEvent.evt was corrupt and I need to run chkdsk (I don't know how to
do this). It restarted again and didn't go anywhere beyond the start
up screen. I tried using an XP boot disk I made (which I have used
successfully in the past) and the same thing happened again. I even
tried booting off of my XP disk but it would just try to automatically
load Windows and would hang at that point. I am using a Toshiba
Satellite laptop that has 528 MB of RAM and Windows XP SP2 installed.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Munkey
