Throw in your windows install disk and when it asks if you'd like to install or repair tell it to repair. This will get you into the recovery console, you'll have to give it the administrator password. Then just run fixboot and follow the prompts. It will tell you that you might lose your data but you prabably won't. That should take care of that. If it doesn't come back and say so.
BTW: Do me a favor and change your sig. Half the time I just read right into it and wonder if I've bee mistaken. Or at least add a "--" to the line above it so my mail client will mark it as a sig.

I need some serious help here. I accidentaly installed grub on (hd0,0) rather than (hd0) which means I overwrote the partition table for my main drive partition, and I need it back, rather than installing it on the MBR like I meant to. Are there any utilities or any way to reconstruct the partition info so I can have access to whatever files weren't written over? By the way, it's an NTFS partition that I screwed up, but it was 17GB of data and I'd really like get as much of it back as possible, so any help would be GREATLY appriciated.
