[RESOLVED] XP will not boot: Invalid Partition Table

[SpywareDr]

She looked online which told her to do a mbrfix command in the recovery screen. Further the internet site told her to ignore the warnings....yikes.

fixmbr

Warning This command can damage your partition table if a virus is present or if a hardware problem exists. If you use this command, you may create inaccessible partitions. We recommend that you run antivirus software before you use this command. We also recommend that you backup your data before you use this command. If the fixmbr command detects an invalid or non-standard partition table signature, the fixmbr command prompts you for permission before rewriting the MBR. The fixmbr command is supported only on x86-based computers.
