Boot.ini file help BSOD?

Yes, another question in relation to my problem. when i boot up my windows xp machine, i contastly get the BSOD saying unmountable boot volume. I have checked all the wired inside and out of the machine, no good. So now i am looking at the boot.ini file via linux live cd to see the supposed problem. it saud:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)WINDOWS=”Microsoft Windows XP Home
Edition” /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)WINDOWS=”Microsoft Windows XP Home
Edition (Original)” /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

(that was not copied and pasted, it was typed so there might be some typo’s or some spaces missing)

That BSOD i am told, it meant to signify that the boot.ini file does not match whats booting. I dont understand.

When booting, i get a screen saying
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition (original)

so i don’t see the problem, is there somthing wrong with my boot.ini file?!
Thankyou
I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THERE ARE …’s IN THIS QUESTION. I DID NOT TYPE THE …’s THEY ARE NOT IN MY BOOT.INI FILE
