XP Boot Problem

I recently used sysprep to prepare a PC for imaging. Sysprep ran successfully and so did the imaging software. Neither of them reported errors or encountered anything abnormal. Mini-setup went as planned and completed successfully also without error. Here is the problem: The PC will not boot normally. It gets hung up at the XP splash screen. The PC will however, boot just fine in safe mode but refuses to boot normally. Platform is Dell GX110 80GB drive partioned as C (system) 40GB and D 40GB. This PC has functioned wonderfully until trying to create the image. Please help! MD
