Did you try last known good configuration? Also from the advanced options
menu where you choose safe mode also choose don't automatically restart on
error. Where is it in the boot up process when it restarts? Why did you
reinstall XP Home in the first place? How did you reinstall? What is the
system configuration?
 
Hi Rock,

Many thanks for your reply. Below are the answers for your questions,
Did you try last known good configuration?
A: Yes, I did. I even tried to use system restore back to the date before I
activated the XP home. But unfortunately both didn't work.
Also from the advanced options menu where you choose safe mode also choose
don't automatically restart on error.
A: I didn't choose. I will try tonight.
Where is it in the boot up process when it restarts?
A: C drive, some time boot up process takes very long, and hang up.
Why did you reinstall XP Home in the first place?
A: The computer got spareware, and virus, I could not remove them.
How did you reinstall?
A: Delete partition and format the harddrive, then do clean installation
What is the system configuration?
A: 600MHz CPU, 512M RAM, 40GB Harddrive.

That's all.

Hope get more help from you.

You're answer to where it is in the boot process when it hangs is not clear.
What screens show when you boot and where is it in that process when it
hangs? Boot from the XP CD, and enter the recovery console. Do this by
taking the first R for repair, select the XP installation by number, put in
the password for the built in Administrator account. For XP Home this is
normally blank so just hit enter. Then at the command line do a "chkdsk /p"
without the quotes. Hit enter.

Here is a link for how to do a clean install:

Have you installed windows xp sp2 or an older version? Prior sp2 windows xp are
vulnerable to blaster worm variants, this worm causes reboots when you cannect to
the internet before you apply the service pack2. You will have to disconnect the cable
to your modem, remove worm in safe mode, install servicepack 2 and windows
updates as soon as possible.

Since you just re-installed XP, why not just start over? I've had bad
installs before, for whatever reason.

In the past when this happened to me, I'd just do it over. Delete the
partition, format it, reinstall...
