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.

there is no worry, writing new partition table give it the same values
(partition start, end, type, order) as before and not a single bit is lost
this is kind of fedora installer bug, since i have amd64 box i was moving
from mandrake to some more amd64 distro at that point, and befor gentoo i
checked fedora. and problems started when i upgraded bios.
