Try to get back to the Windows XP Startup Menu (boot selection screen)
and this time choose the "last known good configuration" option.

To bring up the Startup Menu try tapping the F8 key rapidly during the
initial stages of the startup (before the opening Windows XP splash
screen appears).

Good luck
