Hi, my computer was setup with multi-boot: window xp and linux. so there are
three partitions in my computer, one for boot, one for linux and one for
window xp. one day, from window xp, I accidently deleted boot partition and
linux partition; so the computer won't boot now. I don't care about the linux
system. How do I fix the boot so I can use the windown xp again? I did xp
recover, and I am be able to get into c:\window directory; I tried fixboot,
but it cannot find the boot partition. what I should do to just bring back
the window xp? Thanks

in addition to fixboot
run a chkdsk, then
a fixmbr and then
bootcfg /rebuild

the bootcfg will scan
your drives for any o.s.'s,

then for building the boot
menu with bootcfg, it will
ask you for a line number
and then a name/description
you want for that line.

but whatever you input,
you will have the opportunity
to later rewrite the boot.ini via
the desktop.

You should be able to recreate your boot partition with a 3rd party utility
such as partition magic
