It's asking u for the xp installation/recovery disk,without that u can't repair the xp boot menu,don't change any boot sequences because xp will only be on the drive which has failed,if it's a really old harddrive it's worth replacing it,u should be able to recover data on the old harddrive if u need to, u can either search around the net or shops for a copy of xp with a valid genuine xp key or treat urself to w7 *
