go in the bios, and make sure its booting from your primary harddrive first.(though it shouldn't matter) i never heard of a problem like this...did you install a new xp update or anything related to XP Os files that would reqiure the disk?
Weirdness, has anything unusual happened before this? You might have to reïnstall....or someone 1337 enough may tell how to point windows to the RIGHT directory.
lol, u guys won't believe this.. When I did as you said my com **** up so I formatted.. Now here comes the freaky part: the problem remains.

Err, that isn't that weird, there are 3 steps before installing an Operating System like Windows:
-1e Partitioning ( saying what parts of your HD are going to be used for the booting/OS/Files/etc.
-2e Formatting ( preparing those parts for files)
-3e Installing the Operating System (Windows XP/any other OS & drivers/games/files etc etc.
You have only formatted, so the partions still excist. Try booting with the Windows XP cd, and before you format, you see the partions, try deleting ALL the partitions, and create them like this (for example) :

Just an empty HD, C:/D:/E:/F:/G: etc stand for the partitions(or driveletters depending what it is, a HD/CDR/DVDR/etc), which are nothing more than a part of the HD space reserved for stuff.
ah man, I'd rather stay with the problem.. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

You might have to reïnstall....or someone 1337 enough may tell how to point windows to the RIGHT directory.
[boot loader]
timeout=1
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
I'm guessing that's what needs to be changed... my guess is to partition(0), but i could be wrong.
How many partitions do you have?
Just right click on My computer, click Manage.
You should end up with something like this:

the thing with the red line around it are your partitions...
[boot loader]
timeout=1
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
to
[boot loader]
timeout=1
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(<b>1</b>)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(<b>1</b>)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
Should do the job, just err make a backup before you fiddle with it.
Since windows counts like this:
1,2,3 = normal :o)
0,1,2 = windows
since your first partition is for files, the second must be for booting/windows.
which is in windows counting ways, number 1.

Try booting with the Windows XP cd, and before you format, you see the partions, try deleting ALL the partitions, and create them like this (for example) :
C: (for windows) 5 GB
D: (for games/programs/files) 35GB
Should do the trick.
That's the point, when you have removed all partitions, there is NO C part <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->.

Remove all the partitions!
Its easy, **BALEETED**, then you create some new <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->, NO more Windows XP cd needed eh. Check your PM btw.
