> Fix MBR.  Don't remember/know exactly what fixboot is.  

Fixboot is another one of MS's great achievements... when
you have several boot options in Windows' boot loader (c:\boot.ini)
fixboot can delete "invalid" boot entries (or at least what IT THINKS
are invalid) and restore as default the newest valid OS entry
in the list (or at least what IT THINKS is the best choice). 

A perfect example i have met up with: A friend started a 
win2k -> winXP upgrade. In the middle of the process, he
gets the impression he might lose some of his data and
decides to cancel the installation. He is then left
with two boot options:

-Windows 2000 professional
-Windows XP Install/Upgrade

And, being the last one added, the XP Install is default. He
wants to have 2k back to default, and, if possible, delete the
XP entry. So, he does the magical 'fixboot', and VOILA! XP is
still the default, and his 2k entry is gone! Beautiful!
