As bootloader is written in MBR so its not deleted with just formatting. You have to boot xp in recovery mode and then use command "fixmbr" . This will fix up your linux bootloader problem. In order to boot in recovery mode go to folder winxp/i386 and run command "winnt32 /cmdcons" . This will install recovery console and you can select it on boot time.
