You have the following options to repair the boot sector files.
1) Use your Windows XP CD to repair the Boot sector through the Recovery Console with the "FIXMBR" command, followed by the "FIXBOOT" command. See how to in the TechRepublic.com article 2) From another computer, go to the bootdisk website and download "xpquick.exe" to the hard drive, format a 3 1/2" diskete, and execute the "xpquick.exe" file to make a bootdisk and start your computer with the diskette in the drive, then copy the files from the diskette to the boot sector (to C:\) 3) If your computer doesn't have a diskette drive, you can burn the bootdisk files on a CD and start the computer with the CD in the drive http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm 10 things you can do when Windows XP won't boot http://articles.techrepublic.com.com...1-6031733.html -------------------- "cwturley" escribió en el mensaje ...
