Thanks to the advice from NTLUG I rescued XP and reinstalled grub
successfully. 

I used the FC3 rescue CD instead of the 1st install CD.

Also, I had to punt on how to quit rescue once grub was restored. Some
of us are not that handy with the Linux command line mode. I noticed
that most of the grub reinstall procedures from Google search do not
tell the newbie how to quit. 

"shutdown" followed by "exit" seemed to work. I think it is a good idea
to tell people:

1. 	How to start
2-n 	Steps to perform
n+1 	How to quit

The last may be so obvious it is easy to overlook.
