Hi Theresa,
In the repair console at the dos prompt, If you type help or /? it should
list a set of commands that you can use. the one that may work for you is the
bootfix command.
I believe if you type bootfix it will attempt to fix the boot sector of the
installed os. if that doesnt work, when you start up with the install cd and
it asks you if you want to repair the install with the repair console or
install choose the install, it will see that you already have an installation
of windows and will ask again if you want to repair this installation. this
second chance to repair is not using the repair console but will go through
the installation process to repair the broken files.
Hope this helps,
Eracer
