Try booting from your XP disk. Put it in your drive and
turn the computer on then click any key when you see
the "boot from CD" option down the bottom. You may need to
get into the recovery console and either fix the boot or
write a new boot record. When you are in the recovery
console type in help and hit enter and a list of commands
will come up. This link will get you to the explanation or
the recovery console and how to access it.
