Hi everyone,
	I'm trying to manipulate a drive that has a rather... interesting...  
partition structure that includes Windows XP as the primary OS. When I  
used Partition Magic, which was on the computer, to resize and move  
the Windows partition, it quit booting. Any ideas how I might fix  
that? The data looks OK, but right now I get an error "NTLDR is  
missing."

	Incidentally, so is the XP rescue disc.

	Any uberguru wisdom anyone could pass on to me?

	Thanks,
		Tim
