Just an idea:
Try re-installing grub to your boot partition or root partition
(wherever you boot) and then use the NT boot loader in XP to load
linux. This way you are not re-writing the MBR.

I checked these out but they seem to all require a floppy drive
which is missing on my computer. Partition Magic also has boot magic
has anyone had any luck using it to dual boot xp and fedora?
