Try cfdisk.

That is, assuming the data on the drive is dead to you already.

Find a bootable Linux disk with cfdisk. Gentoo install disk would work, as might knoppix. Kill the offending partitions and the MBR. Also, it sounds like you might want to flash your BIOS.

Also, the XP boot disk has commands fixmbr and fixboot under the recovery console.

Best of luck.
