A program changed mbr so I got a bootmenu that didnt work.
I couldnt boot to reset that program.
I tried fixmbr and several programs to fix mbr, they didnt work.
So, I tried DIR C: and it didnt exist.
Probaly the SATA driver was lost then the bootmenu replaced mbr.
I booted with the XP CD to install that driver and tried fixmbr again.
The menu was gone but I now have a standard mbr and my SATA drive will not
boot as the drive cannot be found.

How can I solve this problem without reinstall everything?

Thanks

Björn

Only time I've seen that is when the software you're talking about is msdos
oriented and couldn't cope with a SATA drive.
