Sabayon and XP not playing nice

Ok, a long while ago I installed sabayon, but it never showed up in the windows boot loaded so I just thought screw it. Well, tonight I was copying some files and my computer just rebooted all of the sudden. When it rebooted it loaded the GRUB bootload and started booting sabayon. Well hell.
So when it offers the choice of OS's to boot I hit other and it says ntldr missing...yadda yadda yadda. I know everything is just fine.
How can i either get the windows boot loader to run again instead of grub, or ad my windows install to grub. I'm lost and in need to be on windows.

If you want to dump GRUB, you should be able to run 'fixboot' from the Windows CD Recovery Console.

I think I found what to add to the grub.conf file, but I have to be logged on as root in order to change it. and I can't figure that out.

I'm just getting everything kinda sorta figured out in bsd or whatever this is technically called. i actually like it better than windows, if it only had the same application support.
What do you mean by application support?

Well, I managed to get myself booting back into windows. The sabayon install was hodge podged on as a second thought anyway. When I build my new computer in late august I will ask for some advice on how to actually dual boot correctly. For now I'm back into windows and I can get my work done so I'm happy.
