i asume LBA is needed only for win itself, not vfat or ntfs partitions,
therefore files are accesible from linux

Um, if you do this, you will more than likely destroy the filesystems as
well, because the new partitions will not line up exactly with the old ones.
Anyway I don't think this is the problem. Afterall, WinXP booted fine
before on this drive with LBA disabled, so something else is up. If you
already made the right changes to the boot.ini file, then I suspect that
a "fixboot" from the recovery mode of the WinXP CD will be necessary.
This should not overwrite the MBR, only the boot loader that is at the
beginning of the windows partition.
