had a 3 boot system. Fedora linux, minxp and min 2000. needed them all for school. no longer used any but xp. through xp i formatted the 2000 and fedora partitions. now winxp will not load. anyone think they can help. i can still see all the xp files if i load 2000 in another partition and view it through file explorer. please help if you can on how i can restore my xp with no previous backup disk so it will load. I presume i somehow messed up the master boot record that told it to load windows but do not know.

Perform a refresh install of Windows XP (In place upgrade)

That will rebuild your boot section files and get XP up and running correctly again.
