    Hey..!
    Boot from bootable XP CD Then on the first screen press "R" Now you will enter the recovery console. There press 1 then press enter. Now type fixboot press enter then type fixmbr and press enter... Now reboot you computer... Your problem would be fixed if that was the boot files issue...! All the best...

    Hey!
    I read the post, I guess that your windows partition had crashed due to power faliure... Sometimes due to sudden power loss the information you are accessing get corrupt and this might have happened in your case... The only option you are left with is to Install windows all over again..!
    All the best...!
