if you need to fix the mbr in xp all ya gota do is get to a c:\ prompt and type in the following without the colon: fdisk/mbr
thats it this will rewrite the master boot record ( ir will also remove lilo if you have it installed)

l2cache.. you rule.. workin on gettin the version on knopp i want then gonna get rid of mandrake.. gotta figure out how to boot xp from a cd.. ive tried with 3 diff dls of knopp and im startin to think maybe f10/f8 (cant remember whic hright now) isnt the solution.. hollaback

I recomend BartPE if you want to boot XP from CD. It's rather a cool program that you use to configure what apps you want installed. You need to script the correct registry settings (or download pre made registry scripts) and it will make a live XP compatable disk for you. It's free from www.nu2.nu

With a bit of tweeking and reading you can get it looking like the screenshots on the site. Just takes persistance. I find it very usefull for going the hack on reliably editing NTFS formats and partitions from CD.
