Try replacing l_Intl.nls
You can do this by performing a repair install - boot from the CD and when it detects a previous install of Windows select Repair.
or
Boot from the CD into the recovery console - replace l_Intl.nls by copying it from another machine.

The best bet for such cases is to insert your XP CD and make sure the CD is selected from BIOS to boot from the Cd, once the you are in setup DOS text mode of XP Setup, make sure to Hit R to repair the windows once the Setup text Mode detect the XP OS.

Please make sure that the Setup Text Mode after you restart your PC DETECTS your XP and then hit the R to repair it. Don;t get confused with the first repair option that appears on the Setup text Mode, this repair option is for Windows Recovery Console and it's totally different then the second screen repair option.

You might need to enter the first repair option, which is the Windows Console to scan the hard drive by running CHKDSK /P to make sure that hard drive has no bad sectors, and then restart your pc, post pond the first repair option and make sure that that setup text mode detects your XP OS and read carefully that it has detected the OS, then hit R, it will delete all the system files that associated with windows and FIX your OS  .

The original CD didn't come with my cheap walmart laptop hahaha.. I guess I'll have to wait then. Isn't there somewhere I can download l_intl.nls so I can copy it to the system32 directory in my XP partition?

Forced accept.
