I think I've narrowed this problem down to a bad Master
Boot Record. I've booted up off the original Windows XP
cd-rom and selected 'R' to get to the recovery console. I
ran the 'fixmbr' command and it says, Caution: Invalid or
non-stand master boot record. Continue? ' So I continue.
It says new MBR successfully written. Well, didnt fix
booting problem. So I go back into recovery console and
do the same command and it gives same warning. 'Caution:
Invalid or non-standard master boot record. Continue?'.
The command keeps saying it is successful but everytime I
run the command it gives the same warning. Can somebody
explain this to me? Thanks.
P.S. I've hooked up the drive as a slave and all my data
is still in tact. Nothing has been lost. The drive just
will not boot into Windows XP.
