    Try tapping F8 as the system boots and choose "last known good configuration" - let's see if that works.

      Boot to your XP CD and choose the SECOND repair option (do a repair install): http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=138

        Well, you'll need to borrow one. It has to be the same version (Home / Pro - & service pack) that you currently have installed).

          Doesn't matter - you're not doing a new install - just a repair install. It's perfectly legal and it will work just fine. Be sure to follow the instructions in the link above. I'm about to leave for the day, but if you have more questions I'm sure someone else will jump in.
