Safe Mode is a good way to get the computer running so you can try and figure out why it won't boot up in normal mode.

When you turn the computer on, a message will come up at start up, stating something like "Windows is now starting up." When this message appears, press F8 on the keyboard. You will then be given a list of options to choose from; one of the options is Safe Mode. Select this one and your computer will start in safe mode (no unnecessary drivers are loaded).

How can you access DOS while Windows XP SP2 is starting up?

Windows XP does not have 'proper' dos, but it does have a command prompt which is a lot like dos. You can access a DOS-like command prompt before booting Windows XP by first restarting your computer and before the Windows XP loading screen appears, repeatedly hit the 'F8' key on your keyboard. This will give you boot up options. One of them will be 'Safe Mode with Command Prompt'. This is the same command prompt that would appear if you hit [Windows]+[R] key in Windows and typed 'cmd' and then hit enter.
