Angry OSL2000 uninstall issue

I’m not sure if this is the appropriate place to post this problem, if not please forward to proper forum.

I have been using OSL2000 for about 8 months now to move between 2 OS of XP located on 2 separated HD, both Mator160gb . The other day I decided I did not need the 2nd XP anymore and removed OSL2000, which was located on my main drive. It was removed via the OSL2000 uninstall floppy I created when the program was installed.

After uninstall of OSL2000, I formatted the 2nd drive that wiped the 2nd install of XP. Last night I rebooted my PC and upon boot, I got the initial nag screen for windows XP startup and then got a light blue screen with a dark blue band at the top and bottom of the screen and a window XP graphic in the middle of the screen. I have never seen this screen before and the boot just stalls and hangs here.

Is it possible the master boot record has gotten compromised? Does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it? I can not boot up my system at all.

Tried to do a MBR fix from the recovery console and message read -

"This computer appears to have a non-standard or invalid master boot record. FIXMBR may damage the partition table if you proceed. This may cause all partitions on the drive to become inaccessible".

Will a reinstall XP pro to fix the above issue?
