Thanks for the link John, just starting to read it now. It'll give me a 
few options, though I don't think that I'll have to use the NT 
bootloader, because once I can get back into the XP, and it boots OK, I 
should (in theory) be able to just put the windows bootloader back with 
the mandrake disc and then just install (or re-install) the linux distro 
afresh - which is what I think I'd have had to do anyway.

If I get stuck I'll "holler" (nothing new there though!).
