NTLDR is missing


Hi there, I recently installed Fedora on a secondary hard drive and am having trouble booting back into Windows. I have my grub.conf file configured correctly (I think) but when I choose to go to windows XP from the GRUB loader, it tells me "NTLDR is missing, press Ctrl+alt+delete".

Naturally, I searched up on what that message meant, and some websites reccomended doing a repair installation of Windows, or using the FIXBOOT command from the recovery console. However, when I insert my windows setup CD, it tells me "Setup is determining hardware configuration" then goes to a black screen and hangs.

I have attempted to install NTFS drivers on my Fedora installation, so that I may attempt to replace the NTLDR and windows boot files manually, but given my lack of experience with the operating system, I cannot figure out how to properly extract the files to a folder where they will function properly.

I'm at a loss for what to do now, any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
