Malware can cause error like this. Good suggestion.

You can also try burning a Recovery Console disc and then using the bootcfg /rebuild command. Click on Recovery Console Instructions in my sig, and follow the directions to create a CD, and then boot from it. Click on Repair Common Windows Startup Problems in my sig and follow the directions using the CD you just burned.
