Using this if you can click it it, if not it is text based so let me know so I can paste it in here, best to read through it first
Presently we get to step 7 number 12
Which gives two options, either to run step 6 to see if using recovery console will let you use check disk, or to run step 8

If I may suggest: I have seen this problem a number of times - windows repair option doesn't show up. I don't know what is the reason for that, might be some difference between the installed version of xp and the one on the disk.
I suggest to use the recovery console and run chkdsk /f and after that chkdsk /r (you can't run both under a single command in recovery console). If this doesnt help then I would run the fixboot and fixmbr commands.

Thank you. I have run the repair scenario before so there may a difference.
Would it be possible to walk me through the process of getting to the chkdsk / * prompt(s) in the recovery console? Am I correct that it will be via the install disk again?
Thanks again

Run the xp cd that you used before. Choose the option of repair with recovery console. A black, DOS-like window will open. When asked to specify installation write 1 and then Enter. If I remember correctly you should see c:\windows>. Type chkdsk /f and then press Enter (note the space in the command). Repeat the same procedure but now type chkdsk /r. This is a considerably longer procedure so be patient.
