it's been a while since i doing some boot fixing, so maybe today the way windows fix things has changed, but you can try it if you want. Back in the time where i use windows xp, whenever i got some boot problem, i just put the installation disk and boot from CD. then select recovery console (i forget the name but there's a word 'console' in it) then after you get C: you can write fixmbr and fixboot.
to understand the difference between fixmbr and fixboot you can read it here:
