Have you tried booting to the recovery console using the CD? See
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;301645 for
information on using Recovery console in Windows 2000 - similar steps should
apply to XP or Server 2003.
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;229716 also has a
good list of commands to use in the recovery console, of which fixboot and
fixmbr may be of use to you.

Without more information it will be difficult to be more specific in
troubleshooting.
