Yes! My typo thank you. Sorry about forgetting the reboot after FDISK. The
main point being the reboot after the FORMAT.

Hmm, so from what I read here, it seems FreeDOS FORMAT *does* support
FAT32 formatting. I guess this means the help page that pops up during
installation should be modified to reflect this. It is that page that
told me FreeDOS FORMAT doesn't support FAT32 yet ...
Coolio! :)

Fdisk your unpartitioned disk, reboot, and format it. Then try running
SCANDISK and/or Windows Setup. Errors showed up in the past. No idea if
this still happens with current FreeDOS FORMAT when creating a FAT32
filesystem on C:.
The current FORMAT 0.91r works fine with FAT32. I checked the so f

FreeDOS FORMAT does support FAT32. I've recently used the latest FORMAT
release (0.91r) to create a FAT32 file system so I can confirm it.
you prolly don't want FreeDOS's bootcode to be installed on C
Hi all,
Just thought I should write in to report that everything's sorted out
now.
I rebooted my machine using the Windows XP CD and went into recovery
console. Here I type "FIXBOOT C:" and that restored my XP bootsector.
After that I rebooted, and I was able to chainload this using GRUB ...

No, Rakhesh, you can't just copy the floppy boot sector to the hard disk.
First, because it's a different file system, and second and most important
- because the boot sector data is different. That's the role of the
BOOTSECT's -W (write) command - to replace the boot sector code without
touchi
ore applying your 2000 or 2003
bootsectors.
Thanks again,
Rakhesh

Rakhesh, here's another one - my Windows 2003 bootsector I extracted using
"BOOTSECT 0 -P -R BSW2K3.BIN" - may it work for you. Write it using
"BOOTSECT 0 -P -W BSW2K3.BIN". Good luck!

Is there any way I can restore the XP bootsector?
Someone who has XP can use the Lance Costanzo's BOOTSECT utility at
http://www.kzin.com/cgi-bin/page.cgi?/utillc/bootsect to extract his XP
boot sector (e.g. BOOTSECT C: -P -R XPBS.BIN), send you, and you write it
(e.g. BOOTSECT C: -P -W XPBS.BIN
