Well after a while of trying to get things working, I finally got things to work without totally destroying the data. It seems that it was a virus, but no virus scanner seen it. The drive was not fragmented or nothing I had to wipe the System Partition, but I was able to install a second hard drive in the system, install XP on it, make it the Boot drive, and then Xfer the files over. A weird way around things but it works and thats all that matters. Anyway just to let you know Charlie, I disabled the Swap File AFTER this happened to see if it was the Hard Drive that was causing the problem or the Swap File. Also it booted fine, believe me this was such a weird thing, I dont even know how to explain everything LOL, but like I said before its over now and all is good, thanks for all the replies guys.
