Find a means to fix your XP boot loader. After that rerun lilo. If you do have an XP rescue floppy you could build an El Torito CD from it (man mkisofs, man cdrecord) and boot XP using that. Another option is to copy the bootsector from another XP machine (dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/mnt/floppy/bs.hda1 bs=512 count=1) and copy it to your XP machine (dd if=/mnt/floppy/bs.hda1 of=/dev/hda1), of course after making a backup of the original sector. Not sure if there are any variable parts (like pointers) in the XP bootsector, in which case this approach would probably fail.
