xp unable to start in safe mode

[Guest]

i have a file with an unknown extention that wil not delete, in a p2p folder
that i am unable to access through explorer, that i think is responsible for
my pc being unable to start in safe mode so that i can delete it there.
any ideas?... i have run all sorts of spyware and antivirus (too numerous to
mention), with no results. this folder is on my backup hard drive(western
digital 80 gig).

Given this problem & your use of p2p, I'd bet your pc has malware infestation.
