You've probably blown away the Linux partition.

You need to install XP first, and make sure that it boots up, and THEN perform a new installation of Mandrake.

When you get to the bootloader tell Mandrake to install the boot loader onto the Master Boot Record (MBR)... then also make a boot floppy for yourself.
