i did somthing stupid---help me

[tibs]

I need help........

I have a dual boot system with Linux 8.0 and Win XP.....

since i never use linux, and it was late at night, not thinking stright, i was in win xp and just deleted the linux partitions, not thinking that linux boots first and has the boot loader.....

now i cant boot to win xp......so i reinstalled linux, and the boot loader section of the install doesnt show win xp, so i went to add it, but it only showed the 3 linux partitions to boot to........

so my question is.......HOW CAN I GET LINUX BOOT LOADER TO BOOT TO WIN XP?!?!

Have you tried restoring your master boot record with a win98 boot disk? (works on xp too)
See this thread on how to do it
