For people in the future if you boot off of your Windows XP installation CD you will have an option for R for Repair. If you press R you will be taken to DOS (so to speak.)

It asks what Windows Installation you want to log into. Press the button Corresponding to C:\Windows

type your admin password

then at the prompt you should be able to type fixboot and it should repair the boot.ini for all windows installs.

I did that several times. I did fixboot and fixmbr.
If that didn't work then in safe mode start > run > msconfig > boot.ini tab > check all boot paths.

it will return a good or bad and it should fix the bad.
