Use your XP CD to go as first as the first Repair option then when you arrive at a Command Prompt, type chkdsk /r (including the space) and let the five stage process complete. Then back in Command, type fixmbr and hit Enter - accept the warning and what that completes finally, type fixboot and hit Enter. Accept that warning then when it finishes, type exit and restart in the normal way. Don't press "Hit any key to boot from CD" at that stage.
