    Then all the cd will do for you would be to let you reinstall. Its got a file transfer console which is handy enough tho :)

    Thats not true - it will let you access the repair console too.

    Not that I've ever found it much use.

    Its worth bearing in mind that if its something simple like a missing boot sector then the repair console might help.

    Fdisk /MBR - dos / win 9x
    www.winimage.com/bootpart.htm (26 729 bytes): ...

    you can also use dd in linux to backup the partition table
    man gpart gpart is a linux app that takes a guess at where a deleted partition is , one of those real lifesaver utils.

    Or if it is just not booting - format a floppy with XP and copy C:\ntldr, C:\ntdetect.com and c:\boot.ini on to it - bypass the HDD boot sector ;)
