was trying to efi my Sl install and well I goofed help screwed up gpt table

okies my netbook will boot to sl but gives my a cannot boot on xp and the efi partition is all of a sudden fat32 and 209 mb of 200, I've tried several cd's to try to fix like the gparted live and well also sysrcd (repair cd) test disk as well as other programs don't seem to help.
this is what I see in terminal and BTW the windows partition is supposed to be ntfs grrr help
bash-3.2# diskutil list
/dev/disk0
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: FDisk_partition_scheme *160.0 GB disk0
1: 0xEE 209.7 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS Snow Leopard 119.9 GB disk0s2
3: DOS_FAT_32 39.8 GB disk0s3
/dev/disk1
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: CD_partition_scheme *296.4 MB disk1
1: CD_ROM_Mode_1 sysrcd-1.5.3 258.1 MB disk1s0
/dev/disk2
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: *268.4 MB disk2
bash-3.2#
I was trying to mount the efi partition to figure out what my install placed there but it seems like nothing because my hack still boots with this screwed up table. I wanted to figure out if I could start moving the kext and stuff to the efi partition so I could start to upgrade to 10.6.3 from 10.6.1 but guess what I royally f'ed this up, one of the reason's being that most websites don't give really clear cut step by step instruction. Does anybody here know how I can fix the gpt table (which test disk says is invalid, wrong or what ever without wiping this whole thing? cause I need some of the files on this computer ntfs partition but even ghost can't read the wrongly marked ntfs partition completly and well I need help please
