Sounds like NTLDR or NTDETECT.COM are missing or corrupt. Boot from the XP CD, go into the repair console, and copy the two files (NTLDR and NTDETECT.COM) from the i386 directory on the CD back to the hard disk. Also, check to see that your BOOT.INI file is still intact.

That was the problem. If I went to boot from the CD it wouldn't go past the 'Setup is examining your hardware configuration'. The screen would just go black after that. What I ended up doing is putting my HDD in my other computer when I got home, wiping it, putting it back and reinstalling. It's working now and I'm using it..it's just now I'm going through the hours and hours of reinstalling all my programs, not even thinking about my music. Ah well..although, I'm still wondering how overclocking too much can tear apart your configuration files..could it have been booting into a very, very unstable Windows therefore causing the error?

ive wiped out that file about 15 times, however using the recovery console always fixed it for me, I think when the overclock goes bad it affects the ide controller cus I always get bad system files when it borks.

There's several places where data can be mangled with a bad overclock. RAM is one of them, and can result in allocation maps on the disk being trashed, along with bad data being written.

oh man, i used to get that all the time when overclocking just that bit too much, 5/10 times putting back to stock would solve it but normally meant a reinstall, i hate the repair option on xp, normally I create a decent ghost image of windows on DVD or a partition before I go crazy ![]()

You can also install the Recovery Console so it is an option during boot up. Quote:
