computer will not boot at all any safe mode that I choose will shut it down

to perform a repair installtion
you need to boot from the XP cd and just follow the
prompts...

though you will not get to the repair installation option
from the repair console...you may want to try going there first and running
chkdsk /r

If that's not what you were looking for then perhaps this is

You will not get Repair Install option, IF your boot.ini file is damaged.
per michaelstevens repair install procedure

That Nepatsfan provided link to:

Select the XP installation you want to repair from the list and press R to
start the repair. If Repair is not one of the options, read this Warning#2!

See Warning #2
This may fix your whole problem and may not actually have to do a "Repair
Install".

Maybe wishful thinking!!??!!





This maybe the reason
