You need to edit your boot.ini file. There are two ways to do this. One is to modify it manually (you need to enable the option to show hidden system files in Explorer). The other option is to boot using your XP setup CD and run the repair console. From their you can run bootcfg to rebuild your boot list (bootcfg /rebuild).
