Repairing the Windows XP MBR

Repairing the Windows XP MBR

I had only one OS on my PC, the windowsXP. Now I tried to install fedora linux and due to some problems in between the installation could not be completed. But till that time the MBR was already been modified. So as the installation stopped in between I restarted the PC. But what I will say there is no operating systems found on local drive.

"The easiest method is to pop an XP CD in your drive and boot from it. Enter the recovery console and run these commands (press Enter after each one):

fixboot
fixmbr
exit

If all went well you'll reboot into Windows. Don't forget to remove the CD!"
