Win XP Failing to start

I've been unable to get Win XP to start. I have a dual boot PC running Lindows & XP. Both were working fine until today. If I select XP it get to the logo then a blue screen (similar to what you'd see if running a scan disck) comes up with the message 'autochk not found - skipping autochk'. Windows then reboots. I've tried to boot from the XP CD, but this doesn't work either, it runs the initial check, then the screen just goes black.

I've been told if I can get into the system recovery from the CD & enter the commands 'fixmbr' and 'fixboot' that it should do the trick, but I'm unable to get to this point.

Anyone with any ideas?
