Hi San,

Looks like the system is severely affected by the virus. Slave the hard disk to a working XP system, and then run a full system virus scan on the drive, note down the virus infected system file name(s) and clean (if not, delete) the affected files. Extract fresh copy of the files from XP CD. Disconnect the drive, and then boot from it.
