Boot.ini file was deleted from my laptop, I have no xp disk so don't
bother
with that suggestion.

Why not? You can borrow any bootable XP CD to run bootcfg /rebuild from the
Recovery Console.

Is there anyway I can restore the file for windows xp
prof. thanks for the help to all who respond

You can use a text editor if you know the details. You can use the
boot.ini from another system as a template. You may need to set the
attributes after finishing
