LOST BOOT RECORD!!! PLEASE READ!!!

[Clindst]

I was running a RAID 0 setup on my Asus A7V133 with two Maxtor 40 gigs running WINXP and I have another 40 gig IBM drive on the IDE bus. I went ahead and installed Redhat Linux 7.3 on the 40 gig IBM in hope of using LILO as the dual boot manager and whenever I boot the menu shows only Linux in the LILO menu.

Now I unplugged the IBM drive so I could just boot off my normal setup with my WINXP on the RAID config but when it goes to boot all it says is 'PRESS A KEY TO REBOOT' I have tried everything to get back into windows but i cant. nothing seems to recognize the drive! I loaded the WINXP disk to use the RESTORE feature but it says that no drives are installed. Now when the computer boots the RAID ARRAY shows up fine and it continues on as usual but instead of going into WINXP it just says "PRESS A KEY TO REBOOT' I have tried fdisk and it doesnt even see the partition. I have over 30 gigs of data on this drive that I need to save. Can someone PLEASE help me out here. I have been trying to fix this allll day and I can't seem to figure it out.

Any help would be appreciated

Put your windows XP disk into your Cd-Rom drive and set your bios to boot from CD-Rom and try and fix the Master Boot Record.

Your going to have to repair the XP install.
The link above is the AT FAQ concerning dual booting 2K/XP with Linux.
Don't try it again without learning it.

I tried to run FIXBOOT but it just said FIXBOOT cannot find the specified drive

How do I go about fixing this?

Isnt just the windows boot loader overwritten? IF so how do i restore it?

HELP!!!!
