Yesterday I wanted to enter Safe Mode but I couldnt. I press F8, select safe mode, I will begin booting (I see the drives list being displayed) then the HD reads, and read, and reads ans suddenly the PC will reboot :(
Does anyone knows what's going on?
Tnx!!!
 
Does it give you any error messages at all?

You might want to check your hard drive for errors. Download the manufacturer of your drives hard drive checking tool and have it check your drive for problems.

If your drive pass the test you could try doing an in-place install of windows xp which should keep your data intact on the drive and should fix any files that got corrupted and stoped you from booting.

Have a look here for more information
