Blue screen of Death

[Guest]

First problem was “Missing or corrupt.....hal.dllâ€, fixed with help from you
guys & gals, thanks. Second problem “Missing or corrupt.....ntfs.sysâ€, as
above.

Now windows will "start" to start (you know what I mean ) and I get the
infamous Blue screen, the error is: STOP 0x00000071 {0x0000000, 0x00000000,
0x0000000, 0x00000000} SESSION5_INITIALIZATION_FAILED.

I have tried several times to start windows in Safe Mode with no luck, a
whole lot of commands (or something to that effect) come up on the screen
(which I’m assuming is normal) it stops on “system32/drivers/agp.440.sysâ€
then starts to load windows, does that mean anything or is it just normal for
Safe Mode?

I’m using XP Home, SP2, OEM (Dell) CD.

I'm looking at this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/887359/en-us

Question 1: Do I change “Winnt†to “windows†and does “$ntuninstallq811493$â€
have a different name in XP Home? Would trying $xpuninstallq811493$ damage my
computer?

Question 2: Would copying the ntoskrnl from my CD be a good idea?

“If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or
software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing.â€

Question 3: Could this be fixed by accessing my current BIOs or up-dating
them? Can that be done through the Recovery Console?

Question 4: Is there any other possible changes that may need to be made to
the procedure in article 887359 to get it to work with XP, any suggestions
would be greatly appreciated, I’ll do anything to get my data back, well
almost.

Been doing some more "research" and came up with something else that may help
me, when windows starts to load the moving light was blue before this happen,
but it's now yellow. I did notice back when SP2 came out and I downloaded &
installed it that the moving light was red or may yellow.

Question: Could a possible solution be to install the Service pack(s) again,
is that possible through the Recovery Console?
