Windows XP Doesn't boot

[Transform]

I have Windows XP on a laptop and it gets as far as the XP loading screen then restarts constantly. Can't get safe mode either.

Booted XP disk and pressed enter to setup xp then agreed to the license. When I try to repair from here, there is no operating system.

So I tried to go through the recovery console. Usually it asks what operating system to use however I didn't get that option it just went straight to the command line. I tried a chkdisc /r which scanned and repaired 1 error however it still reboots itself constantly.

What other options do I have to try and get Windows back other than reformatting?

@gokul... you need to start your own thread... the post you made in introductions is not the way to do it.

@Transform... Do you know the maker of your hard drive? you might try their utilities... (SeaTools for Seagate, for example).

You likely have a failed drive.
What is the brand, model, and age of laptop? What is the brand and model of your hard drive. What sorts of files are at risk that you need to be sure you can rescue and save?
Do you have the funds to obtain an external laptop hard drive enclosure such as the low cost, and excellent Vantec Nextar 3? It runs $22 to $42 depending on where you get it.
Have you ever copied files and saved them to another drive before?
