As this is an Internal Disc that shouldn't happen so you need to find out why it's happened or you'll be back here again. With External Drives this is very common when the Drive is removed from a USB Socket without using the Safely Remove Option in XP.
Yes I know that doesn't apply here but something has hosed the Partition Table so it needs to be found before you waste any Time/Money in rebuilding the thing. You need to look at all connections on that particular drive for a tight fit but the obvious thing is the Power Supply not being powerful enough to provide enough current to power all the internals of the system.
If you have a Slipstreamed Recovery Disc it will not have the option to run FIXBoot as it's not actually a Windows Disc but a Manufactures Disc who buy the rights to install & Support Windows from M$. So you don't actually have a M$ Windows Disc or full program, it's only a partial of the entire thing that is required to run the system that you have purchased.
Personally I haven't had much joy with any M$ Utility to recover or rebuild things destroyed so I no longer use them but if you wish to try you can obtain a OEM Copy from M$ and run FIXBoot but personally I wouldn't expect it to work anywhere near as well as a Proper Data Recovery Program.
Here is a short list of the better ones

While the last 2 are from the same company they are very different products. Win Hex should only be considered foe use by someone who knows Hex Inside Out while Davory is a great cheap General Purpose Application.
Personally I prefer the On Track Option but it's anything but cheap. However because I use this type of software a lot it's paid for itself many times over by now, for a cheaper option Spin Rite from Gibson Research or Stella have both very good reputations by other TR members.
