on a clone drive does fixmbr work or would it be rendered useless as it warns???? Have a rebooting prob since anti-virus install and it had a virus. tried bootcfg and fixboot and chkdsk /p and /r and it finds an error but does not fix. give an error on bootcfg that found error in file but says run chkdsk but still error and no boot. no safe, no dos prompt on load except for reboot. Can get into recovery console but not sure if doing a fix from setup would require reactivation... friends computer waiting for disk from him..using my xp upgrade disk...looks like he upgraded from 2000..tks
