I am still dead on my corporate system, and the XP boot CD I brought won't boot. And so far I have not found anyone here at the IETF meeting that happens to have one in their bag of tricks... So I found instructions on doing this in Ubuntu: http://www.arsgeek.com/2008/01/15/how-to-fix-your-windows-mbr-with-an-ubuntu-livecd/ I have my Centos install CD 1 of 6 that gets me into rescue.

Oh, Boy. I am in trouble now.... I just installed Centos on a USB drive on my corp notebook. To not TOUCH my corp drive. I spent time with the drive partitioner to make sure that nothing was done to the internal hard drive... Well I missed something and I overwrote the encrypted bootloader on the hard drive. Now what? Can I rescue things? I am leaving for my flight in a couple hours to

...ndows 10 as a guest that keeps Windows Updates from nuking the boot process? I just did an orderly shutdown and windows updated itself <I forgot to disable in time> only to reboot to the diagnostics screen which couldn't repair. going to command prompt and doing the usual "bootrec /fixmbr, /fixboot and /RebuildBcd" didn't help. This has happened a few times. I can't believe how fragile Win10pro is while running in a VM. (and it's happened on a couple machines I've been experimenting with -- both running same OS, but different hardware.) I just saw the FAQ abo...

...know that I can use virt-manager to access the xen server and create an image and what not. I guess my question is can someone help me import this exiting .img file into my xen server for use. Currently it does not boot and when I tried booting to recovery console using windows xp disk I can do a fixmbr, but fixboot does not work cause it says the drive does not exist. Any help would be great. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hello, I have a Dual boot laptop that is running XP and Centos,i would like to remove the Centos from the laptop. How would i go about doing this since Centos loaded the grub loader onto the MBR i can not just go and delete the Centos part since grub will still be in the MBR thanks Steven "On the side of the software box, in the 'System Requirements' section, it said

I tried to install CentOS 4.4. This was on a machine where I've got Windows XP on the first partition (hda1). CentOS, like most of the distros will automatically install Grub in the MBR unless you tell it not to. In fact it will wipe the MBR first pretty early in the install. Here was my problem. During the install, the second CD had some sort of read issue. So I had to abort the install

Hi all, I've installed CentOS 4.4 in a box which previously had dual boot (XP SP2 and Ubuntu) I can run CentOS without problem but I can't boot XP SP2. When I try it the system simply hangs...
