Clarifications

I'm trying to fix this. "boot code does not match dell mbr". I did everything the website had.

I assume you have a boot problem and trying to "fixmbr"?

Yes I'm trying to put it back to 'as shipped' state. This is a laptop D820 Dell.
I'm getting this message "A disk read error occurred".

If your trying to return to 'as shipped' state, why?

If you have aretail copy of XP I'd assume it had a different OS on it when it was shipped?

The only way to do this is to use the 'restore disk' that came with it!

The PC doesn't even go to windows anymore.I think I'm missing "boot.ini" How can I copy boot.ini back to PC.
