Feb 12, 2016 1:01 PM in response to fantastic-mr-kevinby Loner T,You can see if the following steps bring up recovery.
1. Connect your Installer Media.
2. In OSX System Preferences -> Startup Disk, select your Bootcamp partition (not the Windows Installer). Unlock the Preferences, if necessary.
3. Click Restart.
4. Check if the Installer starts. If it does select Repair.

Feb 15, 2016 12:32 AM in response to fantastic-mr-kevinby fantastic-mr-kevin,I got it to work!! I followed the steps in the last thread. They make sense now that I was able to get into System Recovery.
- I used the command BOOTCFG/ REBUILD
- Load identifier: "New Windows XP" (so I would be able to remember which one was the one working)
- Enter Operating System Load Options: /fastdetect

Thank you for all your help!! I couldn't have figured this out on my own.
