Some other idea:
- ask someone with a winxp to build a bart-pe for you.
- linux can mount windows partitions, vfat without problem, ntfs with
a beta driver
(moreover it is recommended to use it in read-only, but you have no
choice). Not sure
it is easy to find ntfs module with read-write enable for your centos.
- Other way, install vmware-server (that's free and not too difficult
to install) and
install a winxp on it, then from this virtual-machine, repair your
native XP partition.
Or maybe just configure a virtual disk AND mount your physical drive
as a secon drive
and then boot this dual drive virtual machine with the original XP CD
and try to repair it that way
without install XP for real.
- OR find (google) what is wrong with your partition table (if this is
the problem).
