One solution is to edit your boot.ini file, which controls OS booting for windows.

Be careful when you do this and make sure you create a backup incase you delete the wrong one. It's a hidden system file located on the root of C.

Another way to get around this would be to format the hard drive and relaod the OS from scratch.
