Further to this, I think I have eventually managed to restore my PC to normality. I had to download a programme from Microsoft, called FixIt, in order to turn on automatic update. This then allowed me to download SP3, along with other updates. When invited to restart, I was unable to log on without activating Windows, but clicking on the Activate Windows button, nothing happened. I eventually had to go into Safe Mode in order to download IE8, and when I restarted in normal mode, the activation of Windows worked. It then told me that it could not load my personal settings, but a further reload solved this problem.

After I press F8 I dont get the repair screen. I get a screen that says
The following list shows the existing partitions and unpartitioned space on the computer.
To set up windows xp on the selected item press enter
To create a partition in the unpartitioned space, press c
to delete the selected partition, press D
Does this mean my old version of XPis to corrupt to repair? What do I do on this screen???
That's how my screen look if I remember... don't know what to do with it

i run windows xp pro on my hp desktop. i decided to create an extra partition on my C disk and proceeded to install windows 7 on it. i then deleted the windows 7 os along with the extra partition and now have just xp pro running as before with just one partition.
ever since that point, whenever i need to reboot my pc, it prompts me to specify whether to boot with windows 7 or an earlier os - which is a little bit annoying since there's only one os, windows xp pro.
how can i repair this?

Please do the following in the exact steps. Failure to do so could make the boot.ini damaged and cause unstable or unusable results with your system.:
Save a Backup Copy of Boot.ini
1. Click Start, click Run, type sysdm.cpl and then click OK.
2. Click on the Advanced tab, and then click Settings
3. In the Startup and Recovery area at the bottom click Settings.
4. Under System Startup click Edit. This opens the Boot.ini file in Notepad ready for editing.
5. In Notepad, click File on the Menu bar, and then click Save As.
6. First in here change the location in the top white drop down box to Desktop. Then in the file name change to Boot.old and save as Text Document(*.txt) and save it to your Desktop and then click Save
Please copy and paste all the lines from your Boot.ini file in your next reply.
