    Assuming that your XP is on C: then yes.

    Type:

    FIXMBR C:

    then enter. After that completes type:

    FIXBOOT C:

    then enter. After that completes type:

    BOOTCFG /rebuild

    then enter. After that completes type:

    EXIT

    then reboot.

    when i put in the last one "bootcfg /rebuild" it gave me
    "Error: Failed to successfully scan disks for windows installation. This error may be caused by a corrupt file system, whice would prevent bootcfg from successfully scanning. Use "chkdsk" to delect any disk errors." should i run "chkdsk" and then run "bootcfg /rebuild" again

    That was a search for your XP. Add to boot list? YES

    The bootcfg /rebuild command scans the hard disks of the computer for Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP installations, and then displays the results. You can add the detected Windows installations.

    An example of the message that may be displayed:
    Total Identified Windows Installs: 2

    [1] C:\Windows
    Add installation to boot list? (Yes/No/All):
    Enter Load Identifier: (Custom description for an operating system loading from the Boot menu)
    Enter Operating System Load Options: (that is: /fastdetect)

    [2] D:\Windows
    Add installation to boot list? (Yes/No/All):
    Enter Load Identifier: (Custom description for an operating system loading from the Boot menu)
    Enter Operating System Load Options: (that is: /fastdetect)
    Enter Load Identifier: XP
    Enter Operating System Load Options: /fastdetect
