continual reboot problems

My computer is in a loop of continual reboot. I have windows xp home edition. Is there an available cd boot disk I can download to repair the problem. I was told to just reformat my hard drive and thus loose all of my personal files.
thanks for your help

hey try to boot to safemode by pressing F8 while system is booting and choosing safemode. If you are able to boot to safe mode, then go to system properties, by right clicking on my computer and clicking on properties, then go to advanced, then click on settings button in "startup and recovery" section.
then uncheck automatic restart and click ok. Restart and you should see blue screen with error code, you may search on the net for the error code and you will get solution. Hope this helps.
