ON start up XP machine starts to boot, comes to the screen where you can choose Safe Mode,Start up Normally. If choose normal restarts and comes to same screen. If I choose safe mode, it runs through a list of file then stalls.

sounds like you might have to reformat, unless its a hardware problem. no way to really know for sure

Sometimes, it takes a while, until the computer gets there. Be patient. How long did you wait?
If it's really stuck, can you see at what file?

Have you tried last known good configuration?

Thanks for the suggest, but no luck yet. I tried the last good config and came back to same screen. When I run the Safe Mode the blue screen appears and disappears too quickly to read and it list all the files and stops @ windows system32 drivers amdagp.sys...sits and then the system restarts again after so many seconds. The PC is a friend of mine and was thinking of doing a repair install.......but he can't find the CD for Windows XP Home Edition. Any suggestions?? Newer to this so I appreciate the patients!

First thing, I'd try would be to reset BIOS to defaults.
