i had the same thing happen to me....i lost everything...and was forced to remove the new stick of RAM and do a fresh install of windows xp. Best of Luck.

("Edit": My error read 'NTLDR' though...not what yours says.)

If it's your ntldr you can fix that. If i remember correctly it's a file called fixntldr.zip. Just google it and follow the instructions from there on.
