What kind of error you have ?
Is it simply boot error or Windows is booting up and get blue screen ?
If this is only boot issue, try repair boot using installation DVD but you must do it twice.

Do you use backup software to backup your system? I guess not.
Then a question, what kind of error or exception do you get when trying to boot into Windows?

I got most of files out.  I tried to   reinstall windows using the CD that came with it.  After 92%, pc will reboot back to CD.  It does not look like the windows was reinstalled.
It may be that this machine will not run Windows 10
If you were able to get your data off there, at this point it may be best to do a fresh install by wiping the drive first, rather than try to install on top of the old installation. No telling what has corrupted in there.

I had to leave the pc there to attend other projects, I came back to work on that this weekend. It turned out (at least it looked like that way) it was the ram. I changed the ram, everything installed fine.  very strange.....there was no err indicating ram was the problem.  thanks for everyone's input.
You are very welcome and I was happy to help.
could even have been bad contacts in ram sockets..
