reinstalled
Can anyone tell me how I can fix this
I have tryed my the repair disk but it will not do anything.

Easiest would be repair installation of XP (

You can try to repair things in the Recovery Console also (be way, way
careful!!!). If you decide to go this route, try these 3 commands:

fixboot
fixmbr
bootcfg /rebuild

Tim;

Can we assume you have an OEM version of XP-Home and that you aren't
dual booted on the same HDD with a *nix distro?

If so, he closest thing I know about is:

If you don't get joy there, perhaps the OEM manufacturer has a forum or
service desk you could consult.
