    Get to the windows recovery console (Hit R the first time it asks you when you boot from a Windows XP/NT/2K CD) -- and type FIXMBR. Hit enter, reboot -- good luck.

    it probably ony detects 10 because most older installs of windows wont detect drives over 137gig right. You will need to either update windows or the driver for your ide controller on your other ntfs installs if you wish to recover your data that way.
