I had a problem with my NTLoaDeR recently (NTLDR) and after trying to rebuild my bootsectors unsuccessfully, I reformatted my HD and reinstalled XP Pro. Microsoft had no answers for me, but I eventually reset my BIOS settings (out of sheer frustration from trying everything else) and this solved the problem. I didnt have to reformat, but all is ok now. Hope this has been helpful for you and that you dont have to go through the same stuff I did.

I have a boot disk with about 50 utilities on it that can correct and diagnose problems for everything that might go wrong. There was a generic BIOS reset program on there that I used. There might be a reset option in your bios. Try that.
Good Luck
