XP rebooting loop

I saw one by one the computers in the school lab caught by Windows XP rebooting loop. Whenever one switches on the computer, after the XP logo, it enters the following screen.

No matter what option you choose, the computer reboots and then repeats the same error. At first I thought it was a hardware problem so I reformatted the harddisk. But many of my friends and relatives also complained to me that they were having the same problem. Surely it is not a hardware problem. It must be a virus or malware attack.

This morning, another school computer did the same rebooting loop. And there is very important data inside the computer. I cannot reformat the harddisk. I have to retrieve the data. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

    The teachers spent so much time and effort completing a database there. If cannot retrieve, they will kill me.

    Try putting the hard disk as a slave hard disk on another computer and copy out the important data?
