XPSP2 Crash

[Guest]

I updated my pc with SP2 and upon restart I apparently had an existing chkdsk
waiting for a boot to run. Now my pc is caught in a endless loop. Chkdsk
finishes and restarts my pc only to begin a new chkdsk. Stopping the chkdsk
only causes it to reboot and start a new chkdsk. Repair does nothing and
safe mode does not start. Any ideas???????

How to use the Automatic Recovery feature to recover your computer if
the Windows XP Service Pack 2 Setup program is not completed
successfully:

Reboot tapping F8 each second.
Select "Last known good configuration" at the menu.
If that fails, reboot tapping F8 again this time choosing Safe Mode.
Then System Restore to Date/Time before issue started:
Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore

Otherwise perform a Repair Installation:

When you are ready for SP-2, follow the Service Pack Installation
