windows installations tend to take over the boot partition, and windows per se is unable to see anything but itself. if you've made a linux boot disk, you can get in and hack lilo. otherwise, i think you need to get hold of something like partition magic to restore the original mbr. i've never used xp but, if you can get to a dos prompt, you could do fdisk /mbr. maybe that will work.
