From my clipboard, source forgotten...

Insert and boot from your Windows XP CD.
At the first R=Repair option, press the R key
Press the number that corresponds to the correct location for the
installation of Windows you want to repair.
Typically this will be #1
Type bootcfg /list to show the current entries in the BOOT.INI file
Type bootcfg /rebuild to repair it
Take out the CD ROM and type exit

You will want the /rebuild command.

sounds like you broke the MBR, your only hope if to use recovary
console to fix the MBR, if that dose not work then you will have to do
repair install of windows.
