Try a live bootable Linux CD and see if that works, i.e. boots into a

i received the same advice from different sources, i have to try it :-)

It is a strange story. Do not really see how what happened may have
caused this.

strange i say too! my guess is that xp put something in non-volatile
storage on my card while preparing for sleep mode...

Some screwing up of non-volatile mem is the only other possibility
indeed. The BIOS came to my mind as well, just some random error somewhere.

[...] Perhaps windows has send some very weird data to the hd so that
something on your Linux partition was damaged.

i tried 5 different drivers... nvidia, recompiled nvidia, nv, noveau and
vesa: xp should have a 12/10 sight to bork all this disk sectors and
nothing else!

Yes, I read that you tried many different drivers. But I thought that
maybe some other data might have been corrupted, more specifically the
kernel or some part of X.

However, kernel image is checked when being decompressed so that can't
be it, leaves X.
