Sounds like the disk or some essential file on it might have become corrupted. In safe mode does it reboot after naming a specific file its trying to load? If so you might be able to take the disk, put it in another machine, and replace that file. If worse comes to worse you might have to do a repair installation of Windows. This would replace all the OS files but keep your documents intact. Programs would need reinstallation if they had any entries in the registry though.

You could try using the win xp recovery console on the disk and doing a fixboot command. It sometimes fixes problems
