Hi Jeff

You may be able to get Recovery Console on a boot CD - 

http://www.thecomputerparamedic.com/files/rc.iso
http://www.mharding.net/downloads/xp_recovery_cd.iso

Try Windows Advanced Options menu - Safe Mode F8 again - Disable automatic restart 
on s f  

This may reveal the blue screen as a Windows Stop error and give a pointer to the 
problem
