Hi there ,<br />
<br />
I need to fix my MBR of Windows XP using the Knoppix Boot CD. &nbsp; &nbsp;I attempted to do it using the Win XP CD but, apparently , there is a password for the ADMIN and I have tried all the passwords I can think of and nothing is working. &nbsp;I have read you can repair it using Knoppix but I have no idea how to do so.<br />
Can anyone provide me a step by step on how to fix it ?
