Hosed my MBR
Sounds like you already restored the boot code and all you need to
restore is the partition table.
I would use gpart to try that. Be sure to read the man page and save
away a copy of your current MBR.
Good Luck

Below is a copy of my partation table that is 3 months old:

I know that hda1 - hda10 have not changed, hda11 - 14 were changed,
how will that effect the table?
Will changing the table effect my hdb drive, the table is correct for hdb.
I installed grub in hda and all my linux's work fine. Don't want to mess
up the hdb drive.
Can I just change the table for the hda drive?
My main concern is to boot the hda drive so I can re-partion the hda
drive and boot XP,
I only use XP for a few programs that are not available in linux
