also when i use the cd to have it do the repair it gives a list of files that it says it cannot write to the disk.  i go into the repair console and delete them manualy and it just keeps finding more.

Sounds Like you Could be hitting a Stop error
Eg. The Blue Screen of death.
And Since windows Defualt setting is to reboot on getting one you never get to see it. Its a Pain in the ass.

Are you able to goto safe mode? if so right click on my computer and goto properties and in one of the tabs there is a Setting for Errors

What if you are unable to get into Safe Mode?  PC is on a constant rebooting to Start-up Options.

Nope can't access.  PC is on a continuous recyle.   Occasionally when the screen flickers I see a blue screen.  I can only get to the boot options and in selecting each I come right back to options.

I am having this same fricking annoying problem now.  I thought I had nailed it down to the power supply.  I replaced and I am still getting the problem.  What is going on?

HIT DELETE AND SELECT (BIOSFEATURES SETUP)
SELECT (QUICK BOOT} AND DISABLE IT. THIS WILL CURE 98% OF YOUR REBOOTING PROBLEM  BE CERTAIN TO SAVE YOUR CHANGES WHEN ESCAPING YOUR BIOS.

 I have seen this with the new dell d600 laptops where the wifi adapter has interference with other signals that cause some type of harware faluire and xp keeps rebooting. I had to actually move the laptop about 25 yards and turn off the wifi adapter.
