The best way to check is boot from the installCD and select F1 and rescue. (OR use a DOS diskette with fdisk and do a
fdisk /mbr)
Once in choose the restore the MBR option.
Then if this works and you can post back we can fix it
In fact, I have used these two procedures, but eventually got "missing operation system".
I'll try other methods and report back.
By the way, this is a friendly community. You're kindly

Hi, dear all.
I have problem booting my PC now.
Here the procedures I took.
CPU:AMD XP+ 2600MHz
RAM:512MB DDR (Dual Channel)
1.
The initial partition table of my 80G HD is
hda1 NTFS 10GB (Win XP installed)
hda5 FAT32 10GB
hdd6 FAT32 20GB
hda7 NTFS 40GB
(And the system works fine.)
2. (Then I tried to install MDK 10.0 Official through CDROM on hda5.)
After entering the installation program:
i)I erased hda5 and establsihed a swap and a new hda5 in ext3.
ii)The program formatted hda5.
iii)Installation began!
iv)But the program crashed at the last 10 sec. The screen froze
and the mouse couldn't move. (By the way, the boot loader had not
installed yet.)
3.I repeat the installation several times and it always crash! I gived
up.
4.Try to boot from hda1 (Win XP), but it appear "boot disk error,
please insert boot disk" (I forgot the exact text, but somehow it
means.)
5.I uses "fdisk /mbr" under DOS environment.
6.Finally I always have "missing operation system" while booting.
Can anyone help me?
I have important data on HD.
Thanks.

Can't boot OS after error-install MDK10
in Installing Mandriva

I think I have post the partition table in my first post.
Isn't the information enough? Or do I miss something else?
Not patient to wait, my roommates ask me to erase the entilre partition table,
and of cource, I lost almost all data.
After several trials and errors(as the following), MDK is finally installed.
I:
The HD is partitioned as
hda1 ext3 10GB
hda5 Fat32 10GB
hda6 Fat32 20GB
hda7 Fat32 40GB
I intend to install xp on hda5, but xp said it need to be installed on the partition containing mbr.
So it doesn't work.
II:
Then I re-parttioned the HD as
hda1 Fat32 10GB
hda5 ext3 10GB
and leave other space not partitioned and formatted
First installed xp, then installed MDK10.0. . Don't know why but it success.
One thing to be noticed, X windows crashes (mouse not moving, screen froze) everytime I intend to install rpm. But the problem is fixed after lowering the external frequency from 133MHz to 100MHz(time clock of CPU->1350MHz). Have no idea. Is this something to do with the problems during installation?
