I installed bootcamp and XPpro very soon after it came out, and it ran very well (after the infamously long XP install time). I went to bed a happy person - after several times during the day restarting etc. - but when I turned the computer on in the morning windows wouldn't load. It pops up the 'would you like: safe mode, safe mode with networking' etc:

If I chose any of the safe modes it boots the safe mode find, I enter my username/password for windows, then NOTHING happends. It's not frozen (i can move the mouse) but nothign happens. When i press the power button it says 'windows is shutting down, windows is saving your settings' etc. If I chose 'start using last known working settings' or the 'start windows as normal' selections a black screen appears and is still there after 10 mins.

Ok so I reinstalled windows, it worked for a day - but its done it again... Any ideas?
