FDISK Equivalent To Fix Master Boot Record on Volumes In Windows XP - Boot and Repair Disk In XP?
In the old days (Windows 95/98) I could make a boot
floppy disk with utilities such as FDISK, SCANDISK, SYS, etc., which would allow me to boot from the floppy and do a number of volume repair functions. The main example would be running FDISK /MBR to fix a corrupted master boot record on a hard drive volume. What is the equivalent in Windows XP?? Many Thanks

You will want to boot with the Dell Operating System CD (Windows XP CD) and that will allow you to get to a "maintenance" prompt with ALMOST all the utilities you need to fix the system. moncho
