DOS Boot for IDE RAID disk

[Astrolabio]

I have 2 120 GB disk in a ide raid0 (MB fasttrack133). The configuration ran fine with a single partiotion for more than 1 year under W2K. Last month I put another partition in order to install XP. I started with 10 GB, then I gradually expanded it while I moved stuff from w2k to XP. Everything worked fine till one day, during a partition resizing, I had a 'cannot write to sector 0' error. After that neither OS (XP and 2000) worked. I can still use the OS selector to choose from XP and W2K, but XP gives me a 'cannot read from disk, press ctrl-alt-del', while W2K goes on a bit, ending in a blue screen 'inaccessible boot device'.
I connected an old 3GB drive I had from a previous system, installed XP and tried to access the raid stripe. It shows up in disk manager, but I cannot mount it and it does not show as a computer resource.
I bought an USB HD to retrieve some of my most critical data. I had no problems with easyrecovery.
My data is actually all there, and it is all 'good'.
I would like to be able to restore the drive without having to start from scratch.
I have tried fixboot and fixmbr from recovery console, with no luck. I would like to try one of those partiion recovery programs that boot from a DOS diskette. Problem is, Promise drivers are needed to have the PC 'see' the raid drive, and AFAIK there are no 'dos' drivers for Fasttrack.
Anyone has any idea on how could I do it?

Thanks

Why?

You have recovered what you need - and something you did resizing obviously caused a problem. Presuming you want to be on XP rather than 2k now, the obvious approach is to forgot what you had - clean install XP on your RAID array, restore you files, apps & settings.
