yep my damn computer just did this and i could not reload xp. Had to reformat the harddrive and reload xp. I lost everything. Hopefully you can fix yours with better luck.

Try this

It says if chkdisk/r doesnt work to try fixboot. Not sure if you have read this yet

Quick question how do I reformat the disk drive?

Put your Windows CD in and make sure your BIOS is set to boot from CD. After Windows set up starts and you go through a few options, you get to choose which partition to install Windows to. Delete all your current partitions and then create a new one, and it will start formatting.

copy and paste the exact message in google (if you can) if not write it down and google it from another computer. this usually finds a lot of good non-microsoft solutions. I don't trust theirs that much since many windows problems come from their updates
