Your problem has nothing to do with ShipSim.
Probably what has happend is that the bootsector on your drive
has been altered in some way when you installed ASPLinux.

If you have the Windows install CD, you can try this:

Boot from the windows XP CD, press the "R" key in the setup in order to start the restoration console. Select your windows XP installation from the list, and enter the administrator password.
Enter the command: "FIXMBR" (without the quotes) at the input prompt and confirm the next question with a "Y" (without the quotes).
When the command is succesfuly completed,
remove the CD, and reboot your computer.
Hopefully this has cured your problem.
