In the BIOS Boot Menu make sure that the Network Boot is disabled.

If that doesn't help then Boot your XP CD and presss R for the Recovery Console and first off try FIXMBR

Hi! Thanks for the suggestion, but I had already thought of that. Was still getting the same message. I kept at it though, and finally must have entered something that made the difference, because now it seems to boot Ok, Thanks for your help! I really appreciate it!
