To run the check disk utility you will need a repair disc ora operating system disc. Put the disc in the cd drive and boot fromit. You want to get to the Dos Command Prompt (Black screen with whiteletters) and type the following command: chkdsk /r Check disk will run well over an hour or two and you will notice thepercentages going from high to low, this is normal. Let it run tocompletion. Then reboot machine.
If check disk fails to solve your problem you might have to reinstall windows.Try doing a Repair Install that way you don't loose your data, documents,music, pictures, videos or programs.
In windows xp you get to the dos command prompt by selecting R for repair whenthe options appear.
In Vista and Windows 7 you want to get to the recoveryconsole and look down at the bottom of the window for the Dos Command.

Do you have any extra things plugged into the usb ports? (external hard drive,Ipod,Flash drive) anything like that can sometimes cause pc's to hang at boot they will try to boot to that device instead of your hard drive
Scan your PC with a good antivirus like avast which support boot scan;it will solve your problem if it is caused virus,worm or malware.
Sometimes system hangs when a porgram start to load during bootup too. for troubleshooting this,boot your system in sfae mode during startup by pressing F8.Click "start" then "Run" type "msconfig" select "startup" tab untick all the program and restart your system.
PC hangs or reboots due to overheating of the CPU.It is caused by dust and dirt contamination inside.open the system and blow it with a small air blower.
I suppose you have reseted the BIOS and it didn't have any effect. Check in this order (either using similar components or the ones you have in another pc): power source, memory sticks, processor. If all work then the motherboard is malfunctioning - check the capacitors for leaks and bulging and replace them if necessary; or just buy a new one.
You cant get in safe mode because the PC hangs before windows ever try to start.
Try to press F8 multiple times but right after the Dell screen. Some computer don't like that you press F8 while the bios is loading and just hangs there, maybe its your case.
Check the CPU fan (working) and heat sink as these over time clog up with fluff and dirt overheating CPU also check the rear of power supply for blocked ventilation holes
Great info furnished, were you doing a VISTA UPGRADE or a separate full install to have a dual boot system.
For now-to get up and running reinstall XP via the CD
I think maybe better uninstalling driver, but leave card in and boot system and let windows find the card(hardware) first instead of wot sounds like windows looking for driver and freezing in the boot up process as it will look for a connection to internet for an update or driver.
Normally any usb periferals should be connected after driver installation, but any pci or agp cards inserted first, then driver.
