If you have the XP disc you can put it in when it get's to hit R for Repair do that.

Choose which Operating system then if there is no password hit enter.

From command prompt type FIXBOOT and FIXMBR also if you want run BOOTCFG /REBUILD.

Yeah - but did it work?

I knew it because I had to do it some time back.

The process of FIXBOOT, FIXMBR, BOOTCFG /REBUILD worked for when i wanted to get rid of the linxu bootloader and in the past repair install has worked when i get BSODs at boot so i would assume so
