Question : Boot volume label missing

I need to do a repair install on windows XP.

However when i hit the second menu I only have my partition... no label saying Windows XP or anything. Yet the computer boots into windows fine.

How do i set the boot label?

So the option for repair is not there? It should be... if you can boot into windows fine, right mouse click on my computer, click 'manage'. select Disk Management. What info for your partitions are there? You can rename here... but windows doesn't give each partition a name by default...?
Try checking the Boot.ini file to ensure it looks something like the following:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn

If all looks ok, and repair is generally not an option in setup, then you will have to back up what data you can, and completely wipe the drive and rebuild from scratch.

What is the actual problem?
