Ah, XP is a different beast. Follow me down the tech support road.. Boot off the XP CD, get to the first screen and press Enter to continue, F8 to sell your soul to MS, then it'll seach for existing Windows installations. IF it finds one it will ask if you'd like to press R to repair. Do it. Note the steps taken. This is going past the "R for repair console" option. If it doesn't see the Windows installation, reboot from the CD, hit R at the first screen for the Console, type 1 to enter the installation, and type "chkdsk /p" . May tell you it found some errors, type exit when it's done and see if it boots. If not, try step one again. After a chkdsk it'll sometimes see you have an install.
