Do you have the Windows disc ? If so then boot from it then proceed like your going to reinstall then at the second screen repair windows . Follow the guide in this link .

I ran that recovery partition and it gave this message:

Error code
IDE device failed. Blank media or no media is present in optical drive. Test requires media with digital data. Resource CD, Installation CD.

So does that mean i have to re-install Windows XP? I dont have the original disk and not sure where to download the software safely. Please help. Thanks.
