Cannot Reboot My Computer

My computer has food poisoning!! I'm running NOD32 antivirus and the program is designed to scan the entire system each time it boots. Fortunately I have one hard drive on WinXP Pro and the other on Win 2000 Pro. I'm sending this from the 2000 side. On the XP side, the computer gets part way through the scan and then attempts to reboot. Fundamentally its unuseable. So where do I start with this?
Here is my HijackThis Log:

Norton has been removed, but clearly there are still some stray files. Also there doersn't seem to be any mention of the "d" drive which is where Windows XP is installed, and that is where I'm having the problem.
