Unending SAFEMODE Loop

Yesterday, i tried to boot into safe mode hoping to run my antivirus and remove some viruses but i can't, some bsod error doesnt allow me to boot to safe mode, i tried tapping f8 with no luck so i tried this other alternative which is to type msconfig from run command, then select /safemood under boot.ini tab

I then restarted my PC and to my horror...safe mode keeps looping. I inserted the XP Pro installer and fixing the boot up sector and i got an error " xp setup cannot run under safe mode "

i search and ask uncle Google and i got this result here. It worked for me, thanks to dunedin.

This is the only way I know to repair your problem
Boot up with your XP installation CD
Let setup run and copy files
Select the first “R” for Recovery Console

Type the command
bootcfg /list (there is a space before / )
ENTER

The screen will show something like “fastdetect /noexecute=optin “
OR JUST
“/fastdetect”

Copy this information down as you will need it later

Type command
bootcfg /rebuild (there is a space before / )
ENTER

Results of bootcfg /rebuild: Total identified Windows installs:
[1] C:\WINDOWS. ( You will have 2 here, so select the correct one to Repair)

Add installation to boot list:
type Y
ENTER

Enter Load Identifier:
type
Microsoft Windows XP Professional
OR
Microsoft Windows XP Home
(choose which one you have installed)
ENTER

Enter OS Load options:
Type what you copied above
For example
fastdetect /NoExecute=Optin (there is a space before /)
ENTER

Type
exit
ENTER to quit Recovery Console.
