Booting XP

[Christopher Hansen]

I recently attached an old 8gb HDD to my computer and
installed Linux Debian 3.0 Release 2 and with it I
installed the Linux Loader (LiLo) and chose the option
which would allow me to boot either Windows or Linux at
startup.

Unfortunately, this didn't work so I removed the Linux
Drive and now I cannot boot XP. It gives me the L 07 07
07 etc error. All my drives data remains intact, so I was
wondering if there was a way to put the Windows Booter
back into the drive's MDR or Boot Sector.

I would like to thank anyone who helps me in advance.

Set the BIOS to boot CD before Hard Disk. Boot the XP CD and, instead
of Setup, take the immediate R for Repair. Assume any password
requested is blank, and TAB over.
