@ saurabh kakkar: Here's a great solution to your problem:

Code:

[boot loader] 
timeout=30 

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS 

[operating systems] 

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP" /fastdetect 

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP" /fastdetect 

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP" /fastdetect 

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(4)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP" /fastdetect 

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(5)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP" /fastdetect

Just paste this code in your boot.ini replacing the old content.At start-up you will see 5 instences of WinXP.One of them will certainly work.After you get to boot in XP, clear out the invalid boot paths from msconfig.

thanks man this method has rectified my problem
