grub error


I had a computer running red hat 8 and windows xp, each on different hard drives. when i took out the linux hard drive, to use it in another machine, it will not boot into windows, because it cant find the grub boot loader, i can not use any windows boot disks except for the windowsxp one and that one does not have fdisk on it, when im in dos and try to swap out the disk for one that does have fdisk on it i get an incorrect dos version. is there any way to make it boot off the windows parttition without the linux HD in?

The Windows rescue whatever-it-is on the XP install disc should be able to fix it.
