I downloaded the XP SP 1 and it locked up the computer on
installation process, turned off computer after other
attempts to restart, now the computer won't get past the
first boot page WINDOWS XP.... help?? Is there a safe
mode ala 98 that I can get to??

Reboot tapping F8 each second.
Select Safe Mode at the menu.
Try System Restore to a date/time before issue started.
Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore

If that fails, perform a Repair Installation:
