Look for the error code first to determine your problem.

That blue screen is called the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). When it pops up you'll have a minute or two before it goes into a reboot cycle, what you can try is , starting the rig in safe mode by pressing F8 during the boot process.
If it starts up in safe mode you can easily undo the changes that you had made to the system before this BSOD started.
Then you can get back to booting into normal mode and see if the problem exists.
if not, lucky you.
if it does, you can redo the same thing (Booting into the Safe Mode Menu) and choose restore the system to the last known good configuration.
If that works , you're luckier than you thaought you were.
If it doesn't get back here with the 0X000abdcrfe error code displayed on the BSOD.

Here's what MS says for this error
"When you use volumes that use the NTFS file system on integrated device electronics (IDE) drives with caching enabled, you may receive the following error message during startup:
Stop 0x000000ED
Unmountable_Boot_Volume
The normal recovery process in such a case is to run the chkdsk /r command from Recovery Console, and then continue. On OEM versions of Windows XP, the Recovery Console may not be accessible. If this fix has not been included in the OEM build of Windows XP, you may not be able to enter Recovery Console and run the chkdsk /r command for recovery.

You can try to boot from a Bootable USB stick into dos mode and run the CHKDSK command.

You need to create a Bootable Pen Drive and change the boot order in bios to boot from the pen drive first.

98 is going to work on FAT and FAT32 HDDs not on NTFS.
You need to boot from a XP or Win7 USB Stick.

Listen, half of the problems you're going to come acroos will take a year for you to resolve at this rate, I don't think I have the time for that, you ought to be googling such missing files and other problems for yourself...

That explains it.
Follow instruction as you search for a few missing files and restore them to the folders where you've been instructed to do so , go step by step and if it works out good, if not, then I think you're better off reinstalling windows.
