    Argh, I got that error too when I was at a LAN (about a month ago) I fiddled with it a bit but in the end I just ripped my hard drive out, stuck it in another computer, copied my stuff off and reformatted (maybe if I didnt have that luxury I would've tried to fix it...)
    hehe, anyway you could try booting off your XP CD (into recovery console etc), or maybe "Repair" the install.

        I was reading your hard drive stuff and noticed about the master drive being on the end of the cable and the slave in the middle,I switched it over and I have booted up at least 15 times now with out any probs ,:cheers:
