Looking at the solution of using a Win98 startup disk(floppy) or a WinXP installation CD, at what point and where do we get the opportunity to type in the command "fixmbr"?

since this is a windows question this should probably go to general.

if you able to get into windows via grub then you can open a run cmd.exe and type fixmbr.

if not boot up a windows-nt disk (nt-4, win-xp, vista, win-7), get to a prompt and type fixmbr -- i doubt that win32 (win-98, win-98se, win-98me) would be able to run the nt boot kernel.

The solution that worked for me was the one posted by Tim Fisher at this URL: - http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixthe...s/rconsole.htm
Stages 1 to 6. Thanks to these directions and instructions, I was able to enter the Recovery Console and type in the required instructions fixmbr and succesfully repair the Master Boot Record mbr. Thanks again

I don't know to whom you are replying !

While replying you should try to QUOTE the text as i have quoted yours, so that it is easier to know to whom you are replying.

Meanwhile kindly specify what do you want to do next ? In what matters you need more help ?
