The boot loop thread I found with search was different.

My daughter in law's PC suddenly lost track of its ethernet and before trying to
RESTORE (in XP), she tried other stuff to the extent that I decided to pull the drive
to see if I can get it sorted, and swapped in a fresh drive. This time, I was setting
it up to dual-boot, and W2K was doing fine until XP was installed.
Now, when attempting to boot into W2K, even in Safe Mode, there is a box warning
about no paging file or too small of a paging file. And it never clears out of the
way, just loops (moderately slowly in normal mode, and very, extremely slowly, in
Safe Mode).
It's a new one on me, and Google didn't give me anything that I could use, other
than suggesting a repair install, which AFAIK, may cause problems with Windows XP.
