Could it be that SP2 screwed up?  I'm holding off applying SP2 until I
hear more.  MS is even giving corporation instruction on how to prevent
users from upgrading before the company is ready!  I read that IT folks
are worried about the quality, as they should, of SP2.

You didn't say if you could boot to Fedora.  The problem as I understand
it was not being able to boot into Fedora after installing FC2 in a dual
boot configuration.  Nothing happened to XP.  

Let us know if you can boot to Fedora.  

I supposed if you can boot into Fedora, you might as well wipe the XP
partition out and use it for Fedora <smile>
