So my windows just hangs at the startup screen

[Atooraya]

where that little bar runs across under the Microsoft Windows XP Splash page

wtf could be causing this? It's happened to me before and i had to reformat, but this was just TWO months ago!!!!

i don't wanna do this everytime.

I got it to work once by going into safe mode, and it said it couldn't load:
sptd.sys
vax347b.sys

it finally loaded, and when i went to restart, windows loaded that time.
When i restarted windows in regular mode, it wouldn't load again

I'll use my stupidity as a learning experience for everyone.

I tried burning an xbox game last night with alcohol, but i cancelled burning it during the process.

The drive wouldn't open anymore, so i ignored it till my next restart.

Well, i restarted today, and put that DVD back in thinking that nothing burned on to it.

I realized it was that when i kept hearing a clicking noise coming from my PC case. I went down to listen and i was like "WTF? Is my HARD DRIVE dying on me?" But the noise was coming from my DVD-RW I took the DVD out and everything is working perfectly
