Nasty problem...Conficker?

okay, My AVG Antivirus is up-to-date, and everything was fine

I turn on my PC when I get home, and it goes through the start up...but, before it shows "Windows XP" with the scrolling bar under it, it shows the "sorry to inconvience you, but windows did not start properly, please shoose from the options below." with the typical start windows normally, last known good configuration, and the 3 safe modes.
any one I pick, it restarts itself, ending up with an endless cycle...
is it dead?
my moms sending me a CD with XP on it, and use it as a boot disc with a recovery module on it.
but Ive heard theres a conficker outbreak, and im a little paranoid cuz a PC at schools doing the same thing, and not one I am using.
