Second time starting up a VM - Windows won't start

Parallels 5 has been running great - until a few days ago. I started my XP VM normally, and it failed to boot/load XP (see attached screen shot). If I delete/remove the VM, then create a new VM windows will boot and run once normally. Shut it down and it fails to boot again. I tried setting up two hardware profiles in XP (one for Boot Camp native, one for Parallels), but no joy. It seems like it can't write into boot.ini or something?

Ideas? I really hope the answer isn't 'reinstall Windows from scratch'....

Thanks,
George
