What are your specs? From the looks of things your computer may not support Mac OSX or EFI
Open your case and unplug the device or via Bios (Enable/disable) It´s your choice.
Next time, tell us your hard drive partition scheme, ok?
It´s not a good idea have Xp and leo in the same drive, not always happens but leopard can cause a lot of problems (corruptions), anyway open Xp and run chkdsk if all is ok boot with -s and type
mount -uw /
cd /system/library/extensions
mv ntfs.kext ntfs.kext.backup
reboot
boot with -f -v
