That means your boot sector is corrupted, your HD may be heading south, badIDE cable maybe, could be a virus, maybe just a bad install. Does the HD make any weird "clicking noises"?

boot with the winXP CD and enter the recovery console (press R at first screen), select your installation (probably 1) and enter your admin password. When you get a command prompt, enter the following:[code:1:a9c93a682f]c:\WINDOWS>[b]fixmbr[/b][/code:1:a9c93a682f] (you may have to do this more than once)
it sound like you've got a boot virus, and if that^ works then I strongly suggest you run a full (updated) virus scan as soon as you boot into windows.

you can also try the following command line (worked for me :)) :
chkdsk /r

if there is no ticking noise, reseat the cables and if options above fail: reinstall windows
