Hi,
I had a dual-boot sytem running with windows xp and ubuntu (installed from the live CD) from a single drive with 2 partitions, (which was presumably extended to 3 when I installed ubuntu,) however once I realised that I had no access to change the boot menu, I decided to remove ubuntu, having found a handy guide in the mailing forums, I pproceeded with the instructions, using my windows xp pro disc to fixmbr. However after my first reboot, (which worked fine) I cannot boot to windows, (blue screen of death at load screen, even in safe mode) and even in system recovery nothing seems to have access to the hard drive, I know I have to fix the mbr (again) but after a whole day on the net, it seems there is no (free) way to do it, would it be possible to boot MS DOS from a USB drive and somehow fix it that way?
Any help at all would be appreciated.
