If your using windows xp, it sounds like a "drive letter change" problem. You might want to try the demo below and see if it will boot up your computer. When it boots up, look at the drive letters. The system drive letter needs to be "c", if it's something else than thats your problem.

The reason a wrong drive letter will cause the system to loop, is because windows is looking for the startup files in the wrong drive. If startup files are not found windows will reboot.
