in XP: Repair or fix master boot record using recovery console | Windows installation | Tech-Recipes on Tech-Recipes
Just like to say thanks! I installed my slave drive in a friend's Compaq Presario and it wouldn't work. Not only that, when I removed it and reset the jumpers etc as they were, the PC lost it's MBR and wouldn't start up at all...nightmare.

So after 3 hours of trying all manner of cable configurations, jumper settings and BIOS options I logged on my own PC and looked for help andthis is the first page that I clicked on.

I followed all steps above, (Luckily there wasn't an administrator's password as he didn't know it anyway,) and viola! PC back to normal. Thanks for the help, it saved me a lot more embarrassment!
