Your report is a little light on specific details. Statements such as
"no boot thing defined" do not mean a great deal. I suggest you
give a precise report on the following:
- Which OS was installed on which partition on which disk.
- Which OS you removed.
- Which partition carries the current OS.
- The precise error message you get on booting.
- What partitions and partition types you have (FAT32/NTFS)
- If you can boot into the Recovery Console with your WinXP CD.
