Go into your BIOS setup (the key to press appears on cold boot) and change the boot order to make the CDRom the first boot device. Then you will be able to boot into the XP Pro CD. Let setup run, then choose "Repair a previous installation". This will take you to the XP tools. Use fixboot and fixmbr to make your hard drive bootable again.
