Oh gawd...how should I start.

A few hours ago, I decided to uninstall Ubuntu. I (thought I had) changed my MBR correctly, deleted my Ubuntu partition and rebooted.

Grub Error 17

OK. Live CD. ms-sys -p -m -f /dev/sda

Reboot.

Partition table corrupted.

Live CD

Test Disk. Fixed NTFS boot.

Reboot.

Blinking cursor.

Now I'm stuck. I don't have a XP install disc with me or any other boot disc.

Please help me.

Note: I tried reinstalling Ubuntu before I ran ms-sys. That didn't go so well (didn't install it at all), but I got past the partitioning which mean things might suck for me now (I might have accidentally wiped
that partition, although I can't be sure.)
