Maybe O/T: Cloned dual boot HDD using Clonezilla now XP won't boot

I can mount the partition in Fedora and everything looks fine.
fdisk shows the same partition table as on the old drive - apart from the
increase in size of sda1 and sda6.
However, if I boot from the WinXP CD and try to recover the system it says no
hard drives detected. As the HDD appears in the BIOS and obviously works to
let me boot Fedora I'm guessing it just means that it can't see the NTFS
partition.
This does maybe mean now that GRUB is fine (as Fedora boots) and the problem
is with the NTFS partition.
Anyone got any suggestions?
