The topic is often discussed here. Do a search of the group. And visit...

Then there are the suggestions in this post - from Doug Knox.

Try this. Boot to the XP CD. When it asks you if you want to install or
Repair, choose Repair.
This will take you to the Recovery console. Choose the XP install to log
into, usually there's only 1, and enter the password when prompted. For
Home, the default password is blank.
At the C:\Windows prompt type the following commands

1) FIXBOOT, answer Yes
2) CD \
3) ATTRIB -H NTLDR
4) ATTRIB -S NTLDR
5) ATTRIB -R NTLDR
6) ATTRIB -H NTDETECT.COM
7) ATTRIB -S NTDETEC.COM
8) ATTRIB -R NTDETECT.COM
9) COPY X:\I386\NTLDR C:\
10) COPY X:\I386\NTDETECT.COM C:\

In steps 9 and 10, X is the letter of your CD-Rom drive.

Hi,

Remove any floppy disk from the floppy drive.
