Rescue boot process of Windows XP again


What a bad luck.  Within 6 months, I had 2 machines running Windows XP not able to boot up.  Fortunately, during the last failure, I wrote down the rescue method.  This time, the failed machine had Windows XP in F drive while C, D and E hard disks  were just non-OS drives.  The rescue was to boot Windows XP CD to repair mode and then invoke “fixboot f:”.  It might be good to do “bootcfg /rebuild” if fixboot report any errors.
