You leave out too much detail to really help you out - if this a new install? Or a Ghost image? If it is a Ghost image then your old HD was too corrupted already when you backed it up.
A freeze with a blank desktop usually means that Explorer crashed. One option you should try it to put your XP CD in and do a 'repair' install. That might fix the corrupted files for you.
A clean install usually is the best method though.
