You can try the following, which in most cases will get a computer back up and running. It sounds like it corrupted the boot files.
Insert windows XP disk, boot the disk, choose R for repair press enter.
Command Prompt choose 1 or C: to repair drive c: press enter.
Command prompt type: fixmbr press enter, answer yes
Command prompt type: fixboot press enter, answer yes
Command prompt type: exit, press enter
Remove CD before it boots back up. This procedure repairs the boot sector of the hard drive and does not affect your operating system.
