windows xp pro update 1/9/2008

after instaling 1/9 updates on my xp pro service pack 2 computer i restarted
the computer. now the computer continually reboots at the loading screen if
it makes it that far. if i leave it on it will continue to reboot over and
over again. i have lost the initial instalation cd over the past few years.
does anyone know how to fix this

The exact same thing happened to me. I loaded the repair utility and rewrote
the boot record and the MBR with no effect.

Are you able to boot into Safe Mode of Windows?

No. The Windows XP splash screen comes up but I never make it to the desktop.
