thanx heaps for the tutorial william ... most of it went fine it wasnt till the bcdedit stuff that i couldnt get things happening (3 reformats later and some extra searching) i found this

bcdedit /create {ntldr} /d “Windows XP”
bcdedit /set {ntldr} device boot
bcdedit /set {ntldr} path \ntldr
bcdedit /displayorder {ntldr} /addlast

and it worked!!!
cheers and keep up the good work
