Insert your XP CD. Go to the recovery console. Type in
fixboot
fixmbr

See if that helps.

disconnect the c drive when you do this. I would put windows on my c drive if I were you

And why is that?

because that's where window will always put the default bootloader

a lot of programs will install to the C:\Program Files folder even if this partitcular windows is on another partition

I personally like putting Windows on a partition other than C. Main reason is so if i happen to get a virus but it's only stupid enough to look in C, it'll just kinda fizzle.
