Angry Fire Fedora 2 and Win XP

I tried to install Fedora 2 on my computer. Windows XP is on a 60 gb hdd with one partition, and Fedora 2 is supposed to be on my other hdd with 3 partitions. The install didn't work, but that is the least of my problems.

My problem is I no longer have a GUI dual boot, but a promt that is GRUB 0.93. How do I boot to Win XP?

EDIT: I just had an idea... I'm going to try it...
EDIT2: It didn't work liked I hoped, but I'll try it again. It got really close this time.
EDIT3: It didn't work.

If you boot from your windows XP disk you can bring up a repair option. There is an option to repair the master boot record. That should fix your problem. I've had to do this before. Sorry I can't give a more detailed instruction at the moment, but perhaps someone else can give a better step by step explanantion.

I can't find my disc... but I did find a manual for GRUB and what to do to boot windows, so it works now. Thanks for helping!
