With your MS Windows XP install disk in the cd-rom drive,boot to the Recovery Console.
At the prompt type FIXBOOT then press Enter.
At the prompt again type FIXMBR then press Enter.
Ignore any warnings.
Type EXIT then press Enter,then restart your pc.

If you still have problems,boot to the Recovery Console.
At the prompt type chkdsk /r then press Enter.
This is a time consuming process,let it run until its finished.

If still no joy try a Repair Install.
Configure your computer to start from the CD-ROM drive.
[Boot into the Bios and set your CD-Rom drive as first boot device].
For more information about how to do this,refer to your computer's documentation or contact your computer manufacturer.
Then insert your Microsoft Windows XP Setup CD,and restart your computer.
When the 'Press any key to boot from CD' message is displayed on screen, press a key.
Press ENTER when you see the message to setup Windows XP now, and then press ENTER displayed on the 'Welcome to Setup' screen.
Do not choose the option to press R to use the Recovery Console.
In the Windows XP Licensing Agreement, press F8 to agree to the license agreement.
Make sure that your current installation of Windows XP is selected in the box, and then press R to repair Windows XP.
Follow the instructions on the screen to complete Setup.
