Please help?!

PC Locked up running XP Prof. Rebooted after long wait, machine now starts
but reboots after 30seconds of the splash screen. Won't start up in Safe Mode
or Last Known Good Configuration etc.

...and when I run Console, it can't find my instance of WindowsXP to log in
to, and hence I can't repair it. On top of all this, even though my
directories seem intact, including the Windows directory, I can't access them
(this is because Console or the XP Setup can't find my windows instance and
won't log on)..

Anyone any clue whatsoever??
 
Put your XP CD in the drive and then follow the install route and watch for
the repair install prompts. {]:~)
 
I do not get the 'repair' install prompts - since my install instance is not
being detected, I'm not being offered the opportunity to repair it - and with
only 500MB free I can't even do a new install - which I didn't want to do
anyhow.
