    If you don't have rescue disks, you may try tomsrtbt (one disk linux root
    and boot, probably you will need to boot dos to create the disk, because
    XP usually can't). Url: http://www.toms.net/rb/

    It has a chroot so you can make your lilo or whatever you use to work
    direct from your installed system to fix the MBR.

    good luck
