Try this one...
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Media Center Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /
Go here and get some idea of the Boot ini file as well...

Odds are you only have one disk and one partition so the boot.ini should look like this:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Media Center Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /
Imagine the power if you knew how to internet search

If you get it running again see if the option to create a restore set is still available. If it was done before you are what per said above.

There is no difference in the boot.ini for Media Center and for XP Home or Pro, other than the description - that is the part in quotes - which you could call Microsoft Bob if you wanted to.
Without an XP (MCE/Pro/Home) CD, I don't know how you expect to recreate the file as your hard drive is almost certainly formatted as NTFS and even linux can't write to that (well, there are hacks, but I wouldn't recommend them). I'd suggest calling your vendor and getting a copy of the XP CD

The vendor is the only choice since Media Center was never available as over the counter for sale.

lwcomputing, linux can read ntfs just fine.

Knoppix is a live version of Linux that can work with NTFS files. Knoppix installs to and runs from a CDR so it is ideal for the purposes needed here.

The problem with most Linux versions is not in reading the NTFS file structure, but in the ability to write to the directories without causing problems. Verify that the version you are using provide full read/write to NTFS.
