n7tek,
It is best to start a new post of your own for support rather than adding on to someone else's. Otherwise things get too confusing with posts aimed at more than one person in the same thread.
When making your post, state the problem you have and provide details on what you've done and what you are stuck on along with basic information about the computer you are using. Try to clear up the following:
The answer I gave to mkamerick was about restoring the Windows XP bootloader. It's unclear from your post whether that is even your problem. Is it?
Not unless booting Windows XP is what you need to recover.
In your new post, state whether this is an installation that you had done and working for a while -- that went bad; or if you had similar problem getting it installed in the first place when checking the option to use encryption?
Let us know if there are any other operating systems on the drive also and what those are?
