It's possible that it is simply that your boot.ini file is not correct or not in the correct location. The XP boot system files (boot.ini, ntldr and NTDETECT.COM) need to be on the root of the drive tagged (System) according to Disk Management. You can copy and paste them there if they are not already there.

Also, your boot.ini needs to point to the correct partition/drive and we can help you with that if you post a link to an image of your Disk Management
