yep, Since you edited it, I assume you used the recovery console, correct?
Reboot into recovery console, then at the prompt type
bootcfg /rebuild

correct and that did it though now it boots and asks if you want to go to windows xp home or windows xp home. in other words it's seeing my entry's as well as the ones it just made.
Is there a reason why my editing wasn't enough? just curious for future reference actually....

Well I used that command and it did make it work so I checked the boot.ini to see what I did wrong and apparently dell puts a hidden partition on the drive at the beginning so I was directing it to the wrong partition.
thanks again for the help
I don't know why all the other places I looked for help on this recommended editing the boot.ini by hand instead of at least trying that command first.
