Make sure that the root of the system drivehave these files ntldr, ntdetect.com and boot.ini.They are read only hidden system files.

maybe read up on boot.ini. make sure it is set up correctly, pointing to proper disk and partiion. did this used to work?

Probably boot.ini - do you have one on a backup - or one from a similar machine?

Replace it using the recovery console.

Try creating a boot disk with a new boot.ini and these files:
Ntldr
Ntdetect.com
Boot.ini
Ntbootdd.sys
boot to this floppy, and that will get you to windows to see what is actually in your boot.ini file
example:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
you can copy the files from the windows disk in the i386 folder
