You must have meant repair mode and then at command prompt > type > fixmbr

Thanks for the link. I used to import messages into my officexp outlook as a backup

my pc is not booting xp either properly. I have tried the above said possibilities..

****!! Dont tell me this is because of vista install. I am also getting the same error on both my hard drives after I installed windows vista. I uninstalled it, formatted my frives, installed xp prof sp2 again, but the system has to be switched on n off many times before it boots. Sometimes it says, ntldr is missing n sometimes just cant read the disks. I have sent one of the hard drives back to seagate reporting the error as it was in warrenty period. But the other one is > 3yrs old so no luck

I am using nero 6.6.06 and it is working fine so far

I am also facing the same problem. I am logged with admin rights but each time i am prompted to if I am the admin. And many times it says I dont have the admin right
