If this is an XP system and the MBR set by XP, then you can boot with the (any!) XP CD/DVD into the rescue console and use fixmbr command.
I know that, but so far I have not found anyone here at the IETF meeting that has one. I mean, who carries such a CD with them to a week-long meeting? I have a couple of options to pursue still. LIke the network helpdesk vendor who is local...

However, you indicated earlier there is some encryption in place, I don't know if that is already in effect at MBR level. If it is, this method or the one mentioned in the article won't help.
My corporate tech guy told me the first step is to get a standard XP mbr back on the system, and then he believes he can talk me through getting the encryption working again.
