Correct me if I'm wrong, but "XP Black" is a pirated version of Windows XP which is bound with pirated software. This forum does not allow such topics to be discussed.

If you went to install "XP Black" and you didn't create a new partition for it, congratulations, you probably deleted the partition your legit copy of Windows XP was on, and then began the installation process there. If that's the case, your data is gone. There is software out there that might be able to retrieve bits of it here and there, but, for the most part it's gone.

If you're sure that you were using a separate partition, and your original copy of Windows XP is untouched, perhaps the boot files are just messed up. Perform a repair installation of Windows XP with the legit copy you have, or, complete the guide here.

If the legit copy of Windows XP isn't detected, you can basically start from the top. Boot off of the legit copy of Windows XP, delete the partition "XP Black" is on and install Windows XP on that partition.
 
XP Black is basically pirated XP with a theme installed and loads more bundled (also pirated) apps (possibly including malware). Throw it out and reinstall XP from scratch.

-Edit: Why is "p i r a t e" filtered??? A bit pointless when "pirated" is not.
