I can't get XP to start at all.

It goes to the advanced options screen, and it won't let me go into any of
the options. Safe mode/networking/c prompt, last known good config, and start
normally. I've tried them all, None work.

If you have a WinXP CD then try a Repair Install. Check at Michaels site

What happens when you try these startup options?

Is there any sort of error message produced?

Does the computer reboot itself automatically?

A Repair Install as suggested by Rich Barry will likely fix the
problem but there may be an even easier way, depending on exactly what
is happening when you try to start the computer.

Good luck
