it looks like winxp was in ur primary partition and u used lilo as ur boot loader.re-installing win xp resulted in u losing out ur mbr

now the solution depends on whether u want ur linux back or not.

If u do not want ur linux,u could proceed with as busyanuj had said.
but if u still intend 2 rescue ur linux,u could boot into the linux partition by booting thru the boot cd or floppy and then fixing the lilo .
