XP restarts continuously

Ok, I was trying to update windows XP home with the service pack on microsoft.com. Halfway through the actually installation (not download) windows froze and didnt move for almost an hour. So at that time I believed it to be frozen for good and I shutdown. When it restarted, everything looked normal till after the XP Home logo... then it went into a black screen and restarted. It does this continuously and I am not able to load windows... can anyone help?

Boot the PC and hit F8 right after the bios POST and then use the "Last known good configuration".

I did that and when it went to start it did the same thing again... even safe mode does the same thing.

It sounds like you might have to perform a XP repair install at this point.

Here is some directions to perfom a repair install.
