Yes, there is. Please bear with me for just a little more time.

Preferably from a clean computer, I need you to download:
Windows XP Recovery Console rc.iso

Create a bootable CD/DVD for the Windows XP Recovery Console, from the ISO image. You can use ImgBurn do this. If you need help with ImgBurn, go here.

Once done, reboot from the Windows XP Recovery Console disc. Once in, input the right number for your Windows (and input the Administrator password if prompted). Then execute the following commands (pressing Enter after each line):

• fixmbr
• fixboot
• exit

Note that you may be prompted to confirm for both fixmbr and fixboot, so type Y for each when prompted

Let me know now if it boots in normally into Windows.

I made the disc and booted from it.

I selected the first option which is: To Setup Windows XP now, press ENTER

I did that and it scanned for a minute and then told me it could not be setup because it could not find the EULA. I know this is a legit version of Windows so it's nothing like that.

Is this the correct option, or do I need to select the: To Repair a Windows XP installation using Recovery Console, press R. ?

[Amlak]

Yep, press R to access the Recovery Console. You should reach a black screen where you can input the commands I've instructed you to type in.

[Skiminims]

Ok, pressed it, here is the next screen:

1: D:\MiniNT

Which Windows installation would you like to log onto?
(to cancel, press enter)?

[Amlak]

Ok, before proceeding, exit and remove the disc if it's still in. Then insert the Reatogo disc and boot back into the Reatogo environment (this is the one where you ran FRST). Once the desktop fully loads, double-click the My Computer icon and go to the C: drive. There should be a file called boot.ini

Open the file and copy its contents to a text file on your flash drive. Then paste the contents here.

[Skiminims]

[boot loader]
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS

[Amlak]

Boot back into the Windows XP Recovery Console using the last disc you burned. Once in, input the number 1 and press Enter. Input the Administrator password (if prompted) pressing Enter after the password is typed. Then execute the following commands (pressing Enter after each line):

• fixmbr \Device\HardDisk0
• fixboot c:
• exit

Note that you may be prompted to confirm for both fixmbr and fixboot, so type Y for each when prompted

Let me know now if it boots in normally into Windows.

[Skiminims]

The first time I used that disc, I pressed one and enter and it never asked me for a password or anything. It just rebooted and took me right back to the same menu where I pressed 1. I can try again though.

[Skiminims]

Ok, did all that and still boots the exact same way: Invalid Partition Table

[Amlak]

Please download aswMBR to your flash drive.

• Enter the Reatogo boot CD and run aswMBR.exe
• Click the Scan button to start the scan
• On completion of the scan, click the save log button, save it to your flash drive and post it in your next reply.
• There will also be another new file on your flash drive named mbr.dat
• Please zip mbr.dat to mbr.zip and attach it to your next post also.

Ok, step by step.

Download the attached file below (mbr.zip) and extract the file inside of it (mbr.bin) into the USB flash drive.

Then boot back into the Reatogo environment and transfer the file mbr.bin to the C: drive so that it's now directly under the C: drive

Now go back to the Reatogo desktop and you should see an icon labeled MBRFix. Double-click it to run the program.

Then type in the following:

MbrFix /drive 0 restorembr C:\mbr.bin

and press Enter. Confirm if prompted. Then exit and restart your computer and let me know if it now boots in normally into Windows.
