Reply: (edit)You might try saving the boot.ini file (in a .txt file) onto a floppy disk, then boot from the Win XP disc, then go into the Repair mode. Copy the boot.ini onto the C:\ root directory from the floppy disk. Your 2nd choice, is from the Repair mode, type in the FIXBOOT command, then try booting up from your hard drive. Your 3rd choice is to try re-installing Win XP again. Note that to boot up from the cd-rom XP disc, you may have to go into the BIOS Setup, and change the boot options to 'boot from CD first'. You press the 'Delete' on many computers, to enter the BIOS Setup, after you turn on the power switch. Be sure to change the boot order back to 'boot from HDD first' when you are done fixing the Win XP boot.ini file
