Took some time to familiarize with Knoppix and found access to available storage devices. Everything is there, even the primary master not recognized by the BIOS! 100% sure because it is the drive where Civ is installed.

To summarize:
- Comp does not boot XP from HD
- Primary master is not listed in BIOS
- Comp boots Knoppix from CD and recognizes the primary master

So at least data recovery is possible, but where to start getting the system back to normal??
