Partitioning and cfdisk how-to and how to ungoof your MBR

[Tacvek]

So, to fix my C: drive MBR, since I'm still able to boot, it sounds like I need to do one of the following:

1. Type sys C: from a DOS prompt
2. Typex fixmbr at a DOS prompt
3. Type fdisk /mbr at a DOS prompt
4. Type fixboot at a DOS prompt

Any recommendations as to which would be best, in the case of my XP NTFS disk?

From what it sounds like to me you have 2 choices:
sys C:
fdisk /mbr from dos or

fixmbr
fixboot from xp's recovery console (this is not dos)
