After fiddling around with 'grub' for linux I appear to have destroyed my XP bootsector, I now get the message:

------------------------
Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format

Press any key to continue...
------------------------

even after running 'fixboot' from rescue mode on the installation CD.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might repair this damage?

Thanks.
