About the installation CD roms, I just don't know where they are. So they people who I got the compuer from don't have them either.

And when you say "If it can't find its' secondary file(s), then they must have been corrupted some how.", I think I might know how that happened. After I deleted my knoppix partition, and found out Windows wouldn't load, I did try to remake the partition by just resizing my hda2 (windows) one in cfdisk, although it didn't work, and I have yet to try it again, but it made it si Knoppix couldn't mount/read my windows partition. It says (translated from german or w/e language it is, because I'm on the CeBIT edition), That it couldn't figure out what file system type it was. So I'm not sure if that means I killed NTLDR or what.

And I found the MBR backup thing in an hdb5 partition, it had a folder called "bootwiz", then a file "bootwiz.sys", then in the bootwiz folder, it had around a dozen files with the word "boot" in the name, and an MBR backup called "mbrbacks.dat". Strangley enough, there is a file called fdisk.exe on the partition, but whenever I try to run it, WINE starts and resizes my screen to 640x480 and turns it all black, then I have to log out and relogin to knoppix.
