I believe that is resolved by Run--Msconfig--Goto Boot.ini tab--Click on
'check all boot paths'

If you want to start over? Go back to square 1 and start over.
Reformat your drive and then install. XP will not install over
an old install unless you do a repair install, which is something
different than you are trying to do.
