[sllug-members]: OSS tools to fix WinXP partition

[David J Iannucci]

This weekend I'll be going to try to fix a family member's WinXP
computer that is refusing to boot.  It looks like the MBR is corrupted
or something(?) because on boot it says something like "system disk not
found - insert in A:"

I know about ntfstools, and I'll try to run ntfsfix on it (from
Knoppix), but I'm not very familiar with what's available on Knoppix
(or Linux in general) to do this kind of repair.

Does anyone have a suggestion for something I can try?

Thanks and Happy New Year,
Dave
