Make your your BIOS is set to boot from CD first. You can usually access your bios options from hitting the DEL key or F1 before it attempts to load Windows. When you boot up look for the key it tell you to hit. Find something like "Boot Sequence". Make sure it reads CD, Harddrive, floopy or something to that effect. You want the CD to be first.
On booting you should see a message that says "Press any key to boot from CD..." pretty any key.
Once youre able to get in via the CD. Run the repair Option for Windows "R", Press the number that corresponds to the correct location for the installation of Windows you want to repair (Normally its 1.) then type bootcfg /list - then tybe /bootcfg /rebuild to rebuild it.
After, remove the XP cd and type 'exit' to restart your machine. Try booting into Windows.
