A Packard Bell will not complete boot up sequence.

known good config, start windows normally.

Selecting start windows normally or last known good config, produces a
momentary Windows XP splash screen, a short pause and then back to the
PB splash screen.

Selecting safe mode or safe mode with command prompt, produces a list of
Windows\System32\drivers, a short pause and then back to the PB splash
screen.

Grateful for any suggestions as to a possible cause.

corrupt hard drive, or corrupt registry. Get yourself a bart pe boot disk,
run chkdsk c: /f and you will be sorted.
