ntfs.sys startup error

[ASiF]

I am running WinXP with SP1. Last night there was a major power outage
in my building while i was using my comp. I have two windows partitions:

one NTFS (C:) and the other FAT32 (D:). After the power came on, I
chose every option to try and start windows and everytime it restarted.
Everytime it restarted I caught a glimpse of a blue screen w/ some info
about whats wrong w/ the system but I couldn't read it fast enough. I
got out my windows installation disk and ran the recovery program. The
blue screen came up and stayed on this time. It says under the
"technical information:" ntfs.sys - address F72CF943 base at F72c000,
datestamp 3b7dc5d0. And there it was stuck; it wouldnt go into recovery
mode or anything; just stay there until i restart. I searched with
google and it seems that in several places the suggested solution to
this problem was to copy the ntfs.sys file from xp cd on to the
/system32/drivers/ folder (where ntfs.sys resides). But the problem is
how do i achieve this? I have linux installed and i can acess the
windows partitions; put linux has only read capability of NTFS; and i
have thought of using a WIN98 boot disk but i believe since its a dos
based, it cant access ntfs either.

Could somoone plz help me out of this quandry!!
