You may want to try booting from the XP CD disk and from the Recovery
Console, use "fixmbr" (no quotes) at the command line.

That has nothing *Whatever* to do with the MFT in an NTFS file system.

A bad record in that will hopefully be associated with a specific file,
but it may be difficult to track down which particular one, if CHKDSK
does not fix the matter
