try booting up with
your windows cd and
log into the recovery console.
when you get to the recovery
console command prompt run the
following commands:
chkdsk
fixboot
then "exit" and try to
reboot with out the cd.
the section on
"how to use the recovery console command prompt"
will explain the above:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307654
if the above fails, you can
use you windows cd and
do a "windows repair".
this is better than a
"re-installation" of the o.s.
here are the instructions:
