    boot the computer from the xp setup disc,

    at the stage where it ask what you wanna do.... press the r key to enter recovery console

    it will as you to enter a admin password.... if you don't have one just press enter,

    when you get to a comannd prompt type "chkdsk /r" (with out the " )

    hope this helps

    Enter BIOS and make sure the 1st boot drive is set to your CD/DVD drive.
