That generates the Bootsect.dos and makes it doesn't matter about win-2000 or XP because this is the file you need to boot a DOS based OS.

I was mistaken above when I called it the "win-98 boot.bin" the correct name is "Bootsect.dos".

That article looks the same as khauyeung's methoud except for the last part. I don't think he needed to do a repair of XP but re-wrote the MBR to boot XP by using a tool called "BootNT4.com" that did the XP equivilant of a "sys C:".

Following that article should work fine though but as already mentioned, back up your system first and please be carefull.

Thanks for that link Shiro, nice read.
Dave
