Bug Restoring Boot Manager after Windows Install

Hi everyone, so i have a 40Gb disk with Windows XP and Solaris 10 Installed... windows has once again become unoperable for virus and stufff, and i need to reinstall it, but when i do that the MBR will be overwriten right? and i wont be able to access solaris10 anymore, is there a way, like a rescue disk or something to restore the original solaris boot manager and have access to both windows and solaris?

Thanks. Smilie
