Yup, I've heard of this problem many times. And I'm sure that the
answer can be found in the archives. 

However, I'd like to recommend you check out Lisa's 
"Fedora-list "Current Problems" webpage":
"http://www.peepingdarklord.com/fedoralist/"

Which has many good links and is an excellent place for anyone new to
fedora to look before posting help requests.

For your problem I quote from Lisa's page:

- -> WinXP Dual boot problems
- -> 
- -> So you've installed Fedora Core 2 and now you can't boot into Windows
- -> XP...STOP RIGHT THERE! Quit playing with that partition table. Go here
- -> for the fix: http://www.fedorafaq.org/#nodualboot
- -> 
- -> If you'd like to read in-depth info on this problem, why it happens and
- -> why the above cure works, go here:
