XP install possibly corrupt after installing ubuntu

[themusicalduck]

Hey, I set up a dual-boot system with ubuntu and XP on one single drive, two partitions. Since installing ubuntu, I can't boot into Windows any more because NTLDR is missing. Using fixmbr, fixboot or bootcfg /rebuild doesn't help and if I try to use a windows boot disk, it says it can't find ntoskrnl.exe. chkdsk also can't scan the drive because of some major error and gparted can't scan it either. I can't mount or access any data on that drive from ubuntu.

This is the error from gparted after trying a disk scan:

GParted 0.3.8

Libparted 1.8.9

Maybe you selected the wrong partition? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/hda, not /dev/hda1)? This error might also occur
if the disk was incorrectly repartitioned (see the ntfsresize FAQ).

========================================

I can probably assume from all of this that my windows partition got corrupt at some point and can't be accessible either way.

Is there a way to recover this? Or is it just a case of reinstalling windows? and presumably if I want to use the same drive again, reinstalling ubuntu as well?

Ubuntu shouldn't have done anything to XP. Post the output of

cat /etc/grub.conf

[themusicalduck]

Output is just: cat: /etc/grub.conf: No such file or directory

I hope ubuntu didn't affect windows, the only thing I can guess that happened is that something went wrong when I created the linux partition with gparted. Although I didn't actually touch the XP partition, but only created my linux partition and swap space. No resizing was done and this was all done after installing XP.

Execute this

sudo fdisk -l
cat /boot/grub/menu.lst

Post output here.
* Its small L in fdisk -l.
