[Opensource] Repairng windows on a dual boot machine

[WEIR Andrew]

Dear all,
A little help, I have a machine that I has two hardrives in it. One with
Ubuntu the other runs XP. The XP install is suffering random reboots and
so I want to run a repair on it. However when I try to repair the
installation it want's to write to the ubuntu drive which is the
primary. Due to the fact that the primary drive is Linux and secondary
is windows it does not allow me to repair the install.
Any hints or tips on how to fix it as I really don't want to replace the
Linux drive.

My only thought so far is to remove the Linux hard drive from the
machine reinstall windows on the other drive and rebuild grub.

Regards
Andrew
