Ok, I've been messing around with a few utilities, (I know I'm procrastinating to do a clean install,) and BootIt says "WARNING File system ends at LBA 488376062. The partition may not boot WinNT."



That makes sense, since a large part of XP was built off of NT. So how exactly am I supposed to fix this?



Thanks so much so far.

But I'm still not to keen to go through an entire day of repairing and updating, are you sure that repairing without the usb drive is the answer?

A repair should not take too long.

If a repair does not work, then a full reinstall should do it.

Lol well it turns out I didn't have to do that after all. All I had to do was resize the only partition on the hard drive so about 15 MB were left unpartitioned, THEN I ran fixmbr and fixboot. Everything worked fine from there. Amazing how much time I could have saved if I had just done that.

Glad you figured it out. I am sure the whole thing was rather frustrating!
