Hi : My Windwos XP SP2 startup is stuck with a black screen.

I tried startup in all modes and no help.

But in safe mode, i can see that the startup is stuck on \windows\system32\drivers\ ntfs.sys

So with the re-installation cd - tried chkdsk and it reported no errors.

I also enabled ntfs service using the following cmd in dos
enable ntfs SERVER_BOOT_START

I see 2 other cmds
fixmbr and fixboot

Please suggest me some ways to figure out what the issue is without loosing the data in my computer.

I am still not sure if this is a hardware issue or software issue.

Will i loose data is i re-install the OS ?

Please suggest and its been days that i am stuck on this.
