    you can bootup the good windows then do a scandisk (with the box to fix errors checked) on the f: drive. A scandisk will fix any corruption on the other hard drive.

    You can also see if you can run a chkdsk f:/ r from the command line of the good windows xp.

    If that doesn't work see if either of your windows has an I386 folder, if it does you might be able to make a slipstream windows xp disk or even a bartpe disk. The bartpe can be use to run all the windows chkdsk repairs without booting up either windows xp.
