screwed up my windows

[badbadtz560]

When I boot up windows, it goes into that safe mode, normal mode, etc. etc. screen. Neither one of these works, as it goes to the windows screen w/ the green/blue bar(whatever windows xp pro is), then resets itself shortly after.
The thing that caused this was when I tried to use partition magic to redistribute free space across my partitions. it was an SATA raid-0 setup. Apparently this was an exceptionally bad idea, and now windows simply won't boot. The other partition works fine, as I can access all the files that I backed up into it, but it won't let me access the first partition. My guess is that the data on the hardrive is all fine, but the "directory structure" or whatever thing that tells you where exactly all the files are, got screwed up.

Anyhow, reason for this post is:
Does anyone know how to fix up the windows partition i screwed up? is there a simple program that can fix the partition?

If not, as of now, I've gotten another hd and installed windows on it so that I can run file scavenger and try to recover some files. All I need to recover are three folders that were located on the desktop along w/ my pictures folder.

Another victim of Partition Tragic. Using the recovery console and running the fixmbr command might fix it, but the fact that the partition is inaccessible to a Windows installation on another drive does not bode well. That points to the entire file system being wrecked. If that is the case, you will need to use a low level recovery utility. Good luck!
