Put a Winxp boot disc into your floppy drive.

Run setup as normal, when you get to the screen that asks if you want to perform repairs or install winzp choose REPAIRS

Then choose console, itll give you a real command prompt.

you will see:

C:\WinXp



type in a:

Then you will see

A:

Type in

FixBoot

Say yes, then type in MakeBoot, or if it says command unknown type in Help

Find the MkBoot or simlar and type in that command.

Say yes.

Then remove floppy, and reboot load winxp.
I'm reinstalling Win XP right now, I'll try the FixBoot afterwards. How can I check if my master boot files are okay and how can I protect them in the future?
