XP Pro MBR fix on SATA drive

[FastGame]

Drive is on a SATA controller. So the GoBack fix CD hangs during bootup cuz it can't read the drive. Same with Powerquest bootup CD. Booting off a floppy into DOS, same problem, cant see SATA drive.

I dropped in an XP Pro CD and tried to repair and/or do a parallel install, but "Windows XP cannot recognize the partition you selected". I think it's a dynamic disk.

Sounds like real bad news. If you can't access the drive to do an easy fixmbr (as phishhead suggest) then what can you do ? GoBack has been known to hose HD's

Well you can try things in this thread http://www.sysopt.com/forum/showthre...hreadid=192148

Good luck so you won't need this

short of wipe and re-install.

[edit]= BTW just to let you know, awhile back I got a HD hosed by GoBack and none of the HD wipe tools would work because they couldn't see the drive Don't remember what Distro but one of the Linux Live cd's could see the drive (don't know why) so I used that to wipe & format.

If you get things sorted tell your client to use one of the following..
