Some xp installers automatically install sata support. But it sounds like the HDD is failing and or dying.

Uh crap. I had some probably like this and I went around the BIOS and did something with RAID. I forgot what, but maybe you can look for that.

If it "tries" to boot into safe mode, then your hard drive is probably fine, since it recognized Windows.
Do a repair install, or just reformat.

This is what I've been telling you all along. WinXP doesn't recognize SATA hard drives unless you install the SATA support, which is more than likely on your disc.
Also, RTFM

Did your build the system yourself or did you get a prebuilt?
If it's prebuild, provide the brand name for it.
