Is there any other information included with the stop error?
Does the BSOD stop so you can read it?
Can you borrow a XP home cd to do a repair?
Have you tried to do a system restore back to before the issue started?
If you have Windows XP CD...
1. Boot from the CD.
2. When the text-based part of Setup begins, follow the prompts. Select the repair or recover option by pressing R:
3. You'll find yourself at this screen:
4. Once you are at the Recovery Console you will be given at least one choice of Windows installations. Normally the choice you want is the number 1 choice. Click the number 1 key at the "top" of the keyboard and click enter.
NOTE: at this point your numbers to the right of your keyboard are turned off. If you insist on using these keys for your numbers remember to hit the Numbers Lock key before clicking a number over there or your computer will automatically reboot and you will have to wait through the previous steps to get back to the console.
5. You will be given a message asking for the administrator password. Unless someone or something has messed with your computer there is no password so you just click the Enter key.
6. This will bring you to a prompt that says:
C:\WINDOWS>
7. Type:
cd \
Press Enter
Note: between "cd" and "" there should be a "blank space" otherwise the command won't work
8. The prompt should now say:
C:\>
9. Type:
cd system~1\_resto~1
Press Enter.
Note: If it gives an error "Access Denied" while accessing the folder, follow the method below
Type: cd \
Press Enter
Type: cd windows\system32\config
Press Enter
Type: ren system system.bak
Press Enter
(note the spaces between ren and system, and then between system and system.bak)
Type: exit
Press Enter
now the computer should restart, then follow steps 1-6
10. Type:
dir
Press Enter
NOTE: When you hit enter it will list all the restore points folders like "rp1", "rp2" we have to see the last restore point to copy the file from a recent backup. If the restore points have more than one page then you have keep on hitting the key to view the last restore point folder.
NOTE: It is a good rule of thumb to choose the files from the restore point folder which the second to the last one.
11. Type:
cd rp{with the second to the last restore point number }
Press Enter
Example: cd rp9. if rp10 is the last restore point
12. Type:
cd snapshot
Press Enter.
NOTICE: Now the command prompt will look like this:
c:\system~1\resto~1\rp9\snapshot
Note : restore point 9 assumed for clarity of the content.
13. Type:
copy _registry_machine_system c:\windows\system32\config\system
Press Enter
14. Type:
Exit
Press Enter.
Final note : If the above procedure won't solve the problem, repeat all steps, but in step 13 type:
copy _registry_machine_software c:\windows\system32\config\software
Alternatively, select different restore point.
If you don't have Windows CD...
Download Windows Recovery Console: http://www.thecomput...om/files/rc.iso
Download, and install free Imgburn: http://www.imgburn.c...hp?act=download
Using Imgburn, burn rc.iso to a CD.
Boot to the CD...let it finish loading.
When the "Welcome to Setup" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.
Follow steps 3 - 14.

I did all the steps, when I got to the last one c:\system~1\resto~1\rp1195\snapshot, this computer has rp1124 through 1203, so I chose rp1195 it dated 02/05/2010 which the computer was running fine I will go back and try a different earlier date. But when I did do the last copy _registry_machine_system c:\windows\system32\config\system and the tried copy _registry_machine_software c:\windows\system32\config\software it says The command is not recognized Type HELP for a list of supported commands. So I went to restart and try to reboot in normal mode and Safe mode, instead of the BSOD it stays on that screen and writes Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \Windows\system32\config\system

OK let's try something different then.
Since you don't have the correct XP disk try this.
If you have Windows CD...
1. Insert your Windows XP CD into your CD and assure that your CD-ROM drive is capable of booting the CD.
2. Once you have booted from CD, do NOT select the option that states: Press F2 to initiate the Automated System Recovery (ASR) tool.
You’re going to proceed until you see the following screen, at which point you will press the “R” key to enter the recovery console:
3. After you have selected the appropriate option from step two, you will be prompted to select a valid Windows installation (typically number “1").
Select the installation number, and hit Enter.
If there is an administrator password for the administrator account, enter it and hit Enter (if asked for the password, and you don't know it, you're out of luck).
You will be greeted with this screen, which indicates a recovery console at the ready:
4. There are eight commands you must enter in sequence to repair any of the issues I noted in the opening of this guide.
I will introduce them here, and then show the results graphically in the next six steps.
NOTE. Make sure, you press Enter after each command. Make sure, all commands are exact, including "spaces".
These commands are as follows:
CD..
ATTRIB -H C:\boot.ini
ATTRIB -S C:\boot.ini
ATTRIB -R C:\boot.ini
del boot.ini
BOOTCFG /Rebuild
Note about the above command.
BOOTCFG /REBUILD command which searches for pre-existing installations of Windows XP and rebuilds sundry essential components of the Windows operating system, recompiles the BOOT.INI file and corrects a litany of common Windows errors.
It is very important that you do one or both of the following two things:
A.) Every Windows XP owner must use /FASTDETECT as OS Load Option when the rebuild process is finalizing.
B.) If you are the owner of a CPU featuring Intel’s XD or AMD’s NX buffer overflow protection, you must also use /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN as an OS Load Option.
For the Enter Load Identifier portion of this command, you should enter the name of the operating system you have installed.
If, for example, you are using Windows XP Home, you could type Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition for the identifier (it's not crucial, however what the name is, as long, as it's meaningful).
Here is your computer screen:
5. Following command verifies the integrity of the hard drive containing the Windows XP installation. While this step is not an essential function in our process, it’s still good to be sure that the drive is physically capable of running windows, in that it contains no bad sectors or other corruptions that might be the culprit:
CHKDSK /R
6. This last command writes a new boot sector to the hard drive and cleans up all the loose ends we created by rebuilding the BOOT.INI file and the system files. When the Windows Recovery Console asks you if you are Sure you want to write a new bootsector to the partition C: ? just hit “Y”, then Enter to confirm your decision:
FIXBOOT
7. It’s time to reboot your PC by typing
EXIT
and pressing Enter.
With any luck, your PC will boot successfully into Windows XP as if your various DLL, Hive, EXE and NTLDR errors never existed.
2. If you don't have Windows CD...
Download Windows Recovery Console: http://www.thecomput...om/files/rc.iso
Download, and install free Imgburn: http://www.imgburn.c...hp?act=download
Using Imgburn, burn rc.iso to a CD.
Boot to the CD...let it finish loading.
When the "Welcome to Setup" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.
Then, follow instructions from Step #3 above.
