Here are two methods to fix this: - Use Windows Install CD, start Emergency recovery console((Wiederherstellungskonsole)), run ''fixmbr'' - Use a bootable linux cd, e.g. Knoppix: ''sudo install-mbr /dev/hda'' Note: Use knoppix 5.x for system rescue, as knoppix 6 does not include the mbr package, so you have to install it first. {{tag>linux windows}} ~~LINKBACK~~ ~~DISCUSSION~~ blog/restore_windows_mbr.txt Last modified: 2010/07/12 13:53by brb
