Tell us what happens. I had an XP box that would not boot, and tried everything I could think of (Linux boot with samba, recovery console, overinstall etc.) and could not get it to boot. Scanned drive with Trend Micro, and found a nasty virus/worm that makes machine unbootable. Recovered all data, but could never get it to boot. Had to build a new boot drive. Many miserable hours of work, and serves me right for skimping on security software and backups.
