I got this problem of beiing able to boot xp about a week ago.
Despite a lot of help here, I did not managed to get it back on scene. 
Then I tried to re-install it, but it wouldnt even see the hard drive. I 
thought about the use I had of it and decided to boot it out of my box. 
So now I run a kinux debian box, and am really happy about it.
And I take this opportunity to thanks everyone who tried to help me out.
