You need to run a repair of Xp. Make CDROM first Boot Device in your BIOS, save and exit.
Place your Xp CD in the drive and reboot (you may need to press F8 or other key during boot), once at the setup screen make like you were doing a fresh install.
When you have to select a partition/drive to install to, select the one Xp is ALREADY on, and you should see an option to repair.
