What distro are you using? - did you create a bootdisk? - if its a major distro you can boot from the 1st cd rom - there are other options like the Knoppix live cd and Toms boot disk.

try booting off of the XP cd and go into the Recovery Console. Log in to XP under administrator and type in 'fixmbr'.
