Hi and Happy New Year to @ll,
I think my bootcamp Windows XP partition didn't like the last Power cut.
As I intended to boot from it, the cursor stays on the Windows XP icon then blocks.
I can see the disk and its content from the finder ; I think the MBR is damaged.
Is there a way to repare it?
Thanks to @ll

The easiest way was to insert the bootable Wondows XP setup into the CD-ROM reader, then reboot the iMac with ALT-key pressed down, then choose the Windows CD-ROM icon which appeared in the Bootcamp deices choice.
Afterwhile, Windows XP setup program propose to type R to repair a Windows XP installation ; then it requires to type 1 (of the alpha keyboard) + enter to choose the C: drive to repair.
Then type "exit" and enter and the systeme reboots on the repaired drive.
I guess that the MBR was out of order and that the repairing process consisted in copy the MBR backup to the initial MBR.
That's it
My Windows XP bootcamp does not start anymore
