can you say a corrupted boot.ini file?

boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect


Delete yours as see what message you get. Copy to a floppy 1st so you can add it back.
If the disk is NTFS, simply go to FDISK and see if there is a Fat part. or a Non-Dos.
Either way ----the drive was reformated and that ='s start from scratch.....
