>Is there a way to restore the winXP boot sector without reinstalling xp? 

Boot with a win9x bootdisk.  use fdisk to mark the windows XP disk as the 
active partition.  Then use the command: fdisk /mbr

That will return the MBR To windows XP bootable.  Marking the XP partition 
active may or may not be neccesary, but it won't hurt.  When you are done 
just unmark it as active in fdisk, and try to boot.


After this you'll want to reinstall grub like you did previously, except 
to the MBR instead of to the first partition on hda
