The default password is blank. Just hit Enter.
Enter in the following commands (X: is replaced by the actual drive
letter that is assigned to your cd drive):
COPY X:\i386\NTLDR C:\
COPY X:\i386\NTDETECT.COM C:\
Remove the XP cd and type "exit" without the quotes.
If this doesn't work, you can try a Repair Install. Here is a link to
