Laptop won't boot in safe mode

Laptop won't boot in safe mode... what should I do? (Short of
reinstalling Windows XP)
It can boot with BartPE.. but I don't know what to do with it after
that point.

I might just do a clean install but I thought I would run it through
this ng first... ideas needed please. Thanks!
