I would like to add that I had the exact same issue where even safe mode would not boot and I resolved it by hooking the drive up to another disk with Windows XP installed and doing chkdsk /p from the recovery console on the drive. It has subsequently rebooted fine. No idea what caused the problem in the first place though as it was fine when I shut it down the day before.
