Messed Up Bootcamp Partition. Drive Formatted -- Now I'm Stuck
I originally had Windows Vista on installed on a second partition on my mac. After creating a third partition to install Linux (yes, I know this was a big mistake, my Vista would no longer boot. It told me that I had to put in the install disk, and run the repair feature. Unfortunately, I left the disk at home (I am in college now). Luckily, I remembered to bring my old version of Windows XP. I formatted my drive with Disk Utility (Another stupid move), and then attempted to install XP. It only gave me the option to install over my entire hard disk. When I went back into OS X to departition via boot camp assistant, it said "The startup disk is not supported." I feel I am stuck now. How do I repair my partition so I can install vista? Or better yet, how can I delete that partition and start over using boot camp? Thanks for the help, and I hope the solution to this problem won't be too tricky.
edit: btw, I left my OS X install disk at home as well.

You can try to repair the partition with DiskWarrior but if you need to start over you need your disks. You could've made copies of the disks for emergency in as much as you would be away from home.
