constant restarting

[Muralot]

Yeah, I've tried the last know good configuration and I also have Norton's Go Back which couldn't fix the problem.

This is just a suggestion, but I had a similar problem when I was using Go Back - PC was fine in the evening, than I got a nasty morning surprise. I disabled Go Back and everything returned to normal. Than I got rid of it It's a good utility, though, saved my skin several times, but sometimes can cause problems.
Again, this is just a suggestion. You can try it to see if it works. Keep in mind that when you disable Go Back it will delete all backups (at least this is what I remember). If I am wrong, please correct me, used it a long time ago.

I think I'm really screwed now. I had about 7 gigs of unpartitioned space on my hard drive so I decide to install windows there and try and take a "back door" to getting my other files back. This was before I realized Allen had included the "/r" behind chkdsk. So, I stopped the installation and ran CHKDSK /r which said it found errors and corrected them, took about 15 mins for the process. The screen said to restart the computer which I did, but what I wasn't expecting it started the fresh installation I had previously started. I then went back into the recovery console and tried to delete that particular installation which it wouldn't let me. I then tried to reformat that one but it froze at 5% completed. I then restarted the computer and went into FDISK to delete the second partition and reformat it. What happened next is the scarry part. My hard drive started making a series of rapid beeping and some other wierd noises. I turned the computer off and restarted and ran FDISK again, no drives found. If I run windows recovery I get a technical error that tells me to restart. Is my hard drive gone?

He can't get into windows to do that

He cant get into windows -- which doesnt mean he cant get into safe mode (worth a shot at least)

Ok, Computer constantly restarts...Safe mode locks up,

Safe modes not safe either!

Yup, looks like its time to start from scratch.

My computer was fine last night. This morning when I turned it on it started up like it's suppose to but after the windows xp loading screen disappeared the computer restarted. Now it's in a never ending loop of restarting itself. I have not changed the hardware configuration and it will not start in safe mode, it freezes. Any suggestions?

i would suggest a reinstall , you will need your windows disc, there are a lot of threads for this problem at the moment, you could search for answers for problems similar to yours and give them a try, however a reinstall should sort it as its most likely caused by dump files...................
