Go to http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm and create a new
boot floppy. Use it to start the computer, type "sys c:" and press
"Enter". Then remove the floppy and restart.

Hi Ben:

I tried that. It doesn't work. I get a message saying that my
vfat info is missing or corrupted or unavailable.

However, looking through my dos screen, all my files & folders
appear to be intact.

Something is just misplaced, or set wrong, or something.

Damn! I've got over 500GB on 4 large hard drives. And right
now I can't reach any of it, and I'm terrified of screwing up even
more and losing it completely.

That damned xp dual-boot process did something to my setup, and I
don't know what.

If you, or anyone who reads this, is an expert with how this xp
dual-boot process works, PLEASE help me.
