computer loops at safe mode,safe w/command prompt, etc. screen (XP Pro)

[caver]

The closest question I have found is one that asked 'How to start computer
(Windows XP Pro) in safe mode at the command prompt' ( I think) and that is
the point where it starts looping It doesn't explain how to do it when the
computer will not enter safe mode. My computer keeps looping after the
screen that offers the options to start in safe mode, safe mode with
networking...command prompt, etc. but then simply restarts from that point
no matter which of the choices you select. What other options do I have? I
have already tried to use the remote console to repair it with the 'chkdsk
/r' in dos and its runs that and says it completed properly but it continues
to loop as described. ( I also have an eye problem...I can only see out of
my right eye and it likes to go blurry on me about this long into reading or
writing anything which hampers me in being able to troubleshoot anything. I
used to be quite good on finding things myself but not anymore. Prolly why I
do so good at asking for help as well. It would be very helpful for my if we
could do a MSN Messenger voice chat or Skype, and I can call any tele for
free all day or night) Sorry to be such a pain but I know I can get back in
these drives <raid striped> to get a few more folders and documents I missed
getting when the drive started acting funny. Please help me.)

go back into recovery
console and instead or
running a chkdsk (which
was a pretty good try),
run a
fixboot and a
bootcfg /rebuild.

if the above doesn't
work, then you might
want to consider a repair
installation with that windows
