TIA, Lanny Some other idea: - ask someone with a winxp to build a bart-pe for you. - linux can mount windows partitions, vfat without problem, ntfs with a beta driver (moreover it is recommended to use it in read-only, but you have no choice). Not sure it is easy to find ntfs module with read-write enable for your centos. - Other way, install vmware-server (that's free and not too difficult to install) and install a winxp on it, then from this virtual-machine, repair your native XP partition. Or maybe just configure a virtual disk AND mount your physical drive as a secon drive and then boot this dual drive virtual machine with the original XP CD and try to repair it that way without install XP for real. - OR find (google) what is wrong with your partition table (if this is the problem).
