 bingo...... Well without knowing which operating system you have ...it's only a guess ,but I would think that its possible the boot.ini file is messed up .
Get back with the O/S and we can possibly offer a fix for you .

Do you have the XP disc?

Try using recovery console and the following switches:

chkdsk /r - let that run through and then use:

fixboot - and choose Y for yes.

reboot and see if that helps.
