Sometimes you can corrupt Windows' MBR (Master Boot Record) unintentionally, through installation of another operating system for instance, and you need to repair it before Windows can boot again. The error message that you usually get is "Operating System not found". Under Win 95, 98 and ME, you could have used a standard MS-DOS utility called FDISK in the Command Prompt console. However, FDISK is not distributed with Win NT, 2000, XP, Vista, and 7. So you either have to resort to finding an alternative utility called MbrFix.exe and run it from floppy, optical or USB drive or follow these direction from the installation DVD to repair your MBR. While these directions are specific to Win 7, you maybe able to use the knowledge gained to apply to your particular Win install.

Insert the Windows installation DVD and start the DVD. While in some older systems you may need to change the boot order in the system BIOS, enables many new systems boot from the DVD without modifying the boot sequence by simply clicking on button when prompted to do so.

Well informative information. I think I need to install the hard drive before running grub grub otherwise be able to view the files of GRUB. In general, if you have a question you would MBR can boot Windows.
