Super Grub disk (with help)
super grub disk (no help)
Grub => mbr & !linux! (1)
!linux! (1)
!linux! (>=2)
!win!
win => mbr & !win!
easy live swap


Which one do i need to select?

*edit* i've found my way around and now i've got windows booted and windows only booting :)) many thanks peter :) cheers */edit*
 
You could have also just booted the XP install CD and goto the recovery console and type "fixmbr" and it should fix it.
