Help needed with fixing MBR (WinXP Home SP1)
Hello. I've been having a lot of computer problems lately and one of
them has been my bootloader (GRUB). So I followed somebodies advice and created a bootdisk and used "fdisk /mbr". Now it just says "Missing Operating System". How do I fix this with having to reformat my hard drive or lose any data currently on it? |
