Boot from your XP installation CD. Press the R key when you're given the option. R=Repair. Press the number that designates the installation of XP that you want to repair (if you only have one instance of the operating system, this will be 1). Type bootcfg /list This shows you the entries in your BOOT.INI file. To repair the file, type bootcfg /rebuild Type Exit

DO you have your Windows cd? You will most likely have to reinstall the hal.dll file by using the recovery option when booting to your cd.

enter into your BIOS and make sure that CD-ROM is the primary boot device. Then you should be able to boot to CD without any issues providing your CD-Rom drive is working.
