Hi Enrique,
As KB 330134 mentioned, the GoBack program is also included with the Norton
SystemWorks program. Based on my experience, this issue also may occur if
Recovery Genius is installed. Please check if you installed any Norton
SystemWorks or Recovery Genius program. If yes, please first remove them.
If you didn't install either of the programs, I suggest you try following
steps to see if the computer can boot into operation system:
1. Make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is
a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any
windows updates you might need.
2. Disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS
memory options such as caching or shadowing.
3. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart
your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select
Safe Mode.
If the suggestions don't help, please go on.
Repair Installation
===========
1. Place the Windows XP CD in the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.
2. If the Windows CD displays the What would you like to do? menu, click
Exit.
3. Turn off your computer, wait ten seconds, and then turn your computer
back on.
4. If you are prompted to start your computer from the CD, do so.
5. After Windows XP Setup starts, press ENTER to continue the setup process.

of Windows XP.
- If Setup does not find a previous installation of Windows XP, then
you might have a hardware failure.

following message will appear:
If one of the following Windows XP installations is damaged, setup can try

Press Esc.
9. Choose the appropriate installation of Windows XP, and then press R to
