I'm thinking of jiggering the partitions to put WinXP first
again
and /boot second. I know how to fix the Linux side when I do that, so
maybe putting WinXP back will help. I'd rather not re-install because I
installed a bunch of stuff on Win before I did this, so it would be
annoying (not to say awful) to have to do that all over again.
Why not use Gparted to moved partitions around?
You wouldn't have to reinstall.
Also, how about creating a image of the WinXP partition so you can
recover anytime? Store the image in some external media.
Look here for partimage and other utilities:
