Cannot Boot

[Matt]

I can no longer boot up my Windows XP Pro machine properly. When I choose
Last Known Good Configuration, nothing happens, the laptop just sits there.
When I choose Safe Mode, it gets stuck on windows\system 32\ system.log and
goes no further.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Tried that, but no luck. It immediately goes to the screen with boot options
(i.e. Safe Mode, Safe Mode with networking, etc..) Safe Mode hangs at
system.log. Boot Normally just hangs right away. I can't get in at all!

Is there something I should be doing in Recovery Console?
