Have you recently added anything to your computer (hardware or software)?
Sometimes bad RAM or a bad hard drive can cause Windows to think that files
are corrupt. After doing the repair install what happened? Did you
immediately get the NTLDR error the first time it tried to boot? Did you try
safe mode at that point? What type of hard drive do you have? Is it SATA?
What size is it? Had you installed SP2 before you had this problem? If so
did the disk you did the repair install from have SP2 slipstreamed?

This seems like a lot of questions but you are asking for help and giving us
very little information.
