Startup lockup

[Raymond]

After down loading the necessary patches, I rebooted the
system and the XP Bootup or splash screen is displayed
before the "Welcome" is all that comes up now after a cold
start or restart. The same thing occurs when trying to
boot in safe mode or any other mode in the list of
options. I cannot use the recovery console because I can't
even get to it. Are there other alternatives than the
clean and reload?
Using a Seagate 40gig, connected to an Intel D865GBF and a
2.0gig Intel cpu.

Have attempted to boot from the install CD? From there you can load the
recovery console, and or do a repair, even an ASR by pressing F2.
