Details here (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=307545) from Microsoft on how to attempt recovering from a Windows XP install which won't boot.
Before attempting all these steps I would recommend first using the install routine to access the recovery console. When you get to the command prompt type in "chkdsk /r" without the quotes and press enter. If you're lucky it will fix the problem and the pc will boot again. If not try the steps mentioned in the article.
