You can rectify this by creating a bootdisk for your computer. To do so, format a floppy using Windows XP format utility. Next copy 'Ntldr' and 'Ntdetect.com' files from the 'i386' folder on Windows XP setup CD or from a computer running the same version of XP. Create a 'boot.ini' file and then modify it to match the computer you are trying to access
