Nope, a reinstall or reformat will not fix a "boot partition missing or corrupt" as neither touches the machines ability to boot the HD. You must use the original XP CD & boot with that then press R & go to the Recovery Console. In the Recovery Console type "fixboot". -- ---------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is your picture included in the Official Win-Home List Members Profiles Page? http://www.besteffort.com/winhome/Profiles.html If not, write to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ******** ************************************************************** This email is for the intended recipient only.
