Various .sys files causing system to hang at boot

[hiriath]

Hello all.

Using:
-WinXP Pro
-A7N8X Mobo
-AMD Athlon XP 2500+ CPU
-2-512MB Corsair XMS RAM
-64MB GeForce3
-SBLive! Gamer 5.1
-80GB Western Digital 7200RPM HD
-Pioneer (forgot how fast) CD/DVD-ROM
-Sony DRU-510A CD/DVD +/-R/RW

So far:
-System hung at amdagp.sys - deleted file
-System hung at mup.sys - renamed file because i couldn't get recovery console due to bad floppy disks
-System hung at ndis.sys - same as above
-System now hangs at ntfs.sys

I have been able to use this hard drive as a slave in another computer, which is how i deleted and renamed files.

I figured I would ask to see if anyone has any input before I go renaming everything in my winnt/system32/drivers folder.

If you still want to get to the recovery console, you should be able to by booting from your XP cd. At the first prompt, press R to repair using the console rather than ENTER to install. If you can't do it this way then perhaps selecting the auto repair option from the next prompt may help?
