Did you actually do it or just try fixmbr at a Windows console? The fixmbr from Windows won't do shit.

(and tell me how to get it...) :) Try following the instructions rather than assuming that the tools you have with XP will do anything. You've already tried them, remember? Copied directly from the "Proposed Errata" section for this 'gotcha.': Problem: Windows doesn't boot anymore after modifying partitions table Solutions (only temporary solutions) 1.) Change disk access mode to "LBA" in the BIOS settings and reboot in windows should work 2.) use a floppy disk from FreeDOS? (http://www.freedos.org/) and do a 'fdisk /mbr' and you should be able to boot again - 17 Mar 2000 You'll likely have to do both. I did on 2 upgrades.
