The "click" could be the hard drive starting to fail and this is possibly why you seem to have a damaged boot.ini file.
Try this link for repairing the file

I would bet money on a failing hard disk. Download and run the hd maker's utility for checking the drive. You download this from whoever made the drive ie WD, Maxtor, Seagate, etc.

Next if you have anything important on the drive, I would pull the drive and slave it to the system you are using now. Copy any important data; reinstall the drive and run the test.

Reinstalling windows may cure the boot problem. it won't cure a failing hard drive.
Download seatools for windows and test the drive

If the drive passed ALL tests not just the quick test, it is probably ok.

Just because the drive clicks, this does not mean the drive is definately failing but most of the time this is an indicator - bad sectors on the drive often cause this and can be fixed by simply doing "chkdsk /r" and "chkdsk /f" in command prompt.
