In case if you can not handle the situation and data loss occurs, Windows Recovery is the way to go.

Check that the MS Windows XP boot window is displayed. If it is not displayed and you encounter some error message, the problem may with system boot sector. You have to repair Windows XP bootloader or MBR (Master Boot Record).

If Windows XP is booting, but it crashes over time, the problem may be due to a damaged system file. Copy the affected file from Windows XP boot CD and reboot your system.
If none of the above helps you to fix the problem, file system or any other system metadata structure corruption may be the cause of this problem. In such cases, you need to format the hard drive and reinstall operating system. Though, formatting helps you to fix most of the hard drive related problems, but it also removes all data from hard drive and need Windows Data Recovery to be sorted out.
