NT stores a copy of its boot block in the last sector of the boot
partition, so you may be able to get your NTFS back by booting a
windows recovery CD.

Hello Gnu people!
I have a problem; I cant access my NTFS file system with Windows XP on
it. I cant boot Windows, and i cant explore the file system even from
within Linux. I think GRUB is one reason.
I am in big trouble, and i would be VERY thankful if anyone could help
me, or explain what has happened.
Recently, i bought a new hard disk.
1. The first thing i did with the new hard disk was to install Windows
XP on it. Used the Windows-CD to create a NTFS partition to install
on.
2. Then i created a FAT32-partition, and moved most of my old personal
files, and my Knoppix Linux installation to the new Fat32 partition.
3. Now , some months later, i decided to install Grub so i can boot
other OS'es than Windows, for example Knoppix. I used a Live-CD, dont
know whether i used Knoppix 5.0 or Damn small linux 2.?.?
They both have Grub 0.91 or very similar version numbers.
In Grub i executed
"setup (hd0,1)"
as i'm used to. But then at boot time my computer booted my previous
boot loader, NTLDR for Windows. This happened after repeated
re-installatinos of Grub. Grub gave no error messages. I know my BIOS
supports LBA by default.
Then i executed
"setup (hd0,0)"
to install on the NTFS partitoion.
I thought this would install Grub on a better place, where the
computer could reach it at boot time. It worked, but ever since then
my NTFS partition is broken and unbootable.
I can still boot and access my FAT32-partition though.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks in advance
