    MikeKea,

    With the limited information given, I would suggest you do an in-place reinstall.

    In Place Reinstall

    The page explains what you'll retain and what will have to be reinstalled.

    If you can start in Safe Mode find your boot.ini file in the root folder of C:\ and add " /sos /bootlog" without the quotes after " /fastdetect". Then when you try to boot normally you'll see all the drivers loading and you can see hwere it's hanging. If it goes past that stage, then the boot log should show where the hang is occurring. It lives in the %Systemroot%\Windows folder and is called Ntbtlog.txt.
    Nick.
