Other Fixes for non-bootable systems.
Boot to the XP cdrom and
when you see the "welcome to setup" press the letter R
You will get a dos prompt.
Then type "chkdsk /p" (always without the quotes) and hit enter key.
When that is done type "fixboot" and hit enter key.
"Y" and enter at the prompt.
Then type "exit" and hit enter.
The system will now reboot into the Windows GUI.
If for some reason that don't
work for you, you can boot to the recovery console like above and... Type "chkdsk
/r" then enter.
When done type "exit" and hit enter.
Also fdisk /mbr from any boot disk. Be
Careful.
