i frogrot to mention....

the loading screen is not a WinXP loading screen.....
it's like a DOS loading screen(like that one when you enter a safe mode)

Well, that's what you get for running FDISK, DOS.
It seems that your bootloader has the wrong hard drive geometry recorded.
... if all else fails, you could install a new bootloader like GRUB or LILO biggrin.gif

Hmm, what's your processor speed? When was the last time you defragmented?

ohhh,what you mentioned and decribed is not very details,but i will help you out with some advice by steps,following:

1.with the systme CD to boot your pc and select recovery control panel to recover your boot file.then you will see a dos screen like C:/ and you type chkdsk /p.enter!then type fixmbr.enter!then you can live here by typing quit.

2.second go to the safe mode to delete all the prefetch files locates under windows.then use regedit to fasten bootloading:"HKEY _ LOCAL _ MACHINE SYSTEM /CurrentControlSet/ Control Session Manager /Memory Management PrefetchParameters" select the EnablePrefetcher key in right window,to change 3 to 1.

3.by type msconfg in run window to perfect you startup program.finally to the systm of my computer,to edit the boot.ini.the best status:
CODE

[boot loader]
timeout=5
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /nodetect/noguiboot


complete all the step,you can resart you pc in normal.
if what i list can not solve your problem,you must think about your device,the hardware.especally the main memory and cpu.
good luck.
