If you suspect Windows XP won't boot because the master boot record has been corrupted, you can use the Recovery Console tool Fixmbr to fix it.
For example, the device pathname format for a standard bootable drive C configuration would look like this:. When Windows XP encounters a fatal error, the default setting for handling such an error is to automatically reboot the system.
If the error occurs while Windows XP is booting, the operating system will become stuck in a reboot cycle--rebooting over and over instead of starting up normally. In that case, you'll need to disable the option for automatically restarting on system failure.

In this case, initiating a repair operation is synonymous with performing an in-place upgrade, so you'll need to press R.

Keep in mind that after you perform an in-place upgrade or repair installation, you must reinstall all updates to Windows. Greg Shultz is a freelance Technical Writer.
