XP Blue Screen of Death, Inaccessable Boot Volume or other nonsense

First, try to boot in Safe Mode by pressing F8.

Then, try booting from your XP CD and either Re-install or try the follwing.

Go to Recovery mode

Type the following commands

CHKDSK C: /r
CHKDSK C: /p
fixboot

If you STILL have problems you can try this last ditch fix:

Boot off the XP CD into recovery mode

COPY K:\i386\ntldr
C: COPY K:\i386\ntdetect.com C:

ATTRIB -H -R -S C:\boot.ini
DEL C:\boot.ini
BootCfg /Rebuild

Good luck!
