MBR fix?

Hi,

Is there a way to fix/repair the MBR? I have a french edition of familly windows Xp with Sp2.

So far, I have try : Fdisk /MBR (the system can't find fdisk) and FixMBR (the system can't find fixmbr). Is there any solution?

Thank you,

Beings it's XP you'll be dealing with the Recovery Console.

hi, i lost my E partition once when i used an old version of an Acronis program. to recover the partition i used testdisk, it's a dos program. you can get the link for it and more useful partition tools at ultimatebootcd. they are under Partition Tools
http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/

 

I did this. Got message that mbr had been reformatted;however, when I booted again, still saw the message: MBR Error3.

What now?

 

If there is a problem with the Boot-sector on the C:-drive, you can use "fixboot" to write
a new boot-sector.

Follow Bubba's instructions to get into the Recovery Console and run the fixboot command with the appropriate drive designated. You will need to run this from the root directory--(ie: C: ) If you're unsure of the syntax, type "fixboot /?". Omit quotes.

Good luck!
