    Hi all

    Can anyone recommend a tool that i can boot from a floppy on to fix my WinXPro MBR?

    I know about the "fixmbr" command from the recovery console but I have no idea where my XP disc is atm. :mad:


    Thanks!

    FDISK /MRB should work
    there is also a tool like this in the recovery console tools on the xp cd.

    you need to boot from the cd or have the recovery console installed
