does your laptop have a floppy drive? a faulty one can cause this order, enter your bios and make sure that floppy is not in the boot order.
The other cause of this, is the same as the ntdlr error. A file in the XP bootloader, often io.sys has been corrupted or missed entirely. Usually this occurs when the disc is a copy, thus an improper boot disc installs files incorrectly.
Check that your partition is set to active, and primary.
