   damagwed ntfs partition

   Hello,   
      
   I dual boot W2K003 and  XP.  I ran a Linux Live CD and ran cfdisk and   
   fdisk -l to look at the partition information.  However I think I may   
   have accidently damaged or deleted the partition containing XP.  The   
   boot parition is drive c: (windows 2003) and when I boot the boot   
   selection screen appears.  I can boot to Windows 2003 ok but if I select   
   XP in the boot menu I get the error 'following file is missing or   
   corrupt \system32\ntoskrnl.exe.'  Both partiions are on a   
   120gb ATA drive.  I aslo have unpartioned space.   
      
   The partition containing XP shows up in fdisk as 'Partition2 (unknown)'.   
      
   Is there any quick and easy way I can recover/repair this ntfs partition?
