Note To start the computer from the Windows XP CD-ROM, you must configure the basic input/output system (BIOS) of the computer to start from your CD-ROM.
To run the Recovery Console from the Windows XP startup disks or the Windows XP CD-ROM, follow these steps:
Insert the Windows XP startup disk into the floppy disk drive, or insert the Windows XP CD-ROM into the CD drive, and then restart the computer.
Click to select any options that are required to start the computer from the CD drive if you are prompted.
When the "Welcome to Setup" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.

When you are prompted, type the Administrator password. If the administrator password is blank, just press ENTER.

At the windows prompt type in: chkdsk /r and tap enter key
When it's finished:
Type in Exit and try to reboot normal.
Windows is installed on the D drive, it was from my old system I just use it as a back up now
C was my main for the new pc I had built but that was a few years ago,
Possible it could be a hardware issue?
So I tried what you said and got this error
Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem.
Could not read from the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware
Is it seeing the correct hard drive in the BIOS?
If so try this:
Insert the Windows XP startup disk into the floppy disk drive, or insert the Windows XP CD-ROM into the CD drive, and then restart the computer.
