afair
winxp has problems with pqmagic5 created partitions,
i could not find the article
http://search.microsoft.com/search/results.aspx?view=en-us&st=b&na=82&qu=partition+magic

could it be that since fc2tx something has changed the partition in a 
simliar way?


what had you tried?
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2004-April/msg00138.html

bios-setting from auto to lba ?
boot win-xp-cd in rescue-mode ?
c:\> fixmbr
