Anyway after this process happened, every time I boot my laptop up now, it just continually reboots once it gets to a certain point in starting XP. -- I can tell it's while it's trying to load certain system or driver files. So yeah, my laptop just reboots now.
THANK GOD, I have ALL my critical files/documents on my external 120GB Hard Drive.

Sounds like you got jipped with an IBM hardrive. I can fix your problem.
