In a short explanation, won't pc won't boot up anymore

Last night i installed XP Pro in VM Ware and forgot to take the cd out, so when i booted my pc up, it took me into the WinXP install.

So now if i don't have the cd in, i get an error "No Boot pasrtion found" -- or something like that

When i go in the WinXP Recovery console, i can do bootcfg /scan and that tell me i have a windows installation on"D:\WINDOWS". I did a bootcfg /add with that installation but still no luck.

So now i'm screwed, big time...

I can't reinstall windows, i have to much stuff i would lose, so any other ideas or alternatives are immensly appreciated.
