     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 .

    If you don't know the answer, it isn't a dumb question.

      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.
