Assuming that this is the only problem, you need to repair/rebuild the
boot.ini file. Try the following:

Insert and boot from your WindowsXP CD.

At the first R=Repair option, press the R key

Press the number that corresponds to the correct location for the
installation of

Windows you want to repair.

Typically this will be #1

Type bootcfg /list to show the current entries in the BOOT.INI file

Type bootcfg /rebuild to repair it

Take out the CD ROM and type exit
