Default error loading operating system (Win XP Pro);

On a clean IBM T40 (old) laptop, after succesfull re-installation of Win XP
SP3, Office 2007 and other staff, I've done the mistake to invoke teh IBM
internal backup/recovery preinstalled software. This has caused the system to
start a new hidden partition for teh backup purpose but something went wrong,
system has crashed and nothing worked. I'v managed to recover everything by
partition magic, re-activate my prime partition, deleting the hidden
partition and if I start the system using an external bootable CD seems like
the Windows CD, or any other - it seems like all is well on my HDD (c) drive.
booting the system from my HDD returns an error: "error loading operating
system". I've tried Fixboot, and FixMBR from the Console but it didn't solve
teh problem.
Looks like what I need is the eqvivalent of the old fashioned "sys c"
command, in the Dos/Win3.x days. Any help?
