Ok, I'm ok now, I booted from the XP setup disk, deleted my linux partition, replaced it with an ntfs partition, installed a copy of xp to that partition, from the new version of xp I replaced the hal.dll, and altered the boot.ini to have a line pointing to partition 1(my original XP) instead of 2, the new version of XP, and now I'll get rid of that second windows partition and probably try to put linux on it again, hopefully without screwing it up again

Thanks everyone for helping me, I decided to install a larger version of linux since I have the space anyways, and can I use the normal windows boot loader to boot a linux installation?
