i have been having some seriously confusing problems lately, but now when i restart my computer (the propper way from XP) i have to go into the recovery console and type fixmbr. once i do that windows boots fine untill i reboot again



WTF IS GOING ON!!!!!! :(

thanks :)
 
You had data loss on a write... typically this is a sign your drive is starting to fail. Just do a windows repair or simply reinstall to fix the problem.
 
HDD is starting to die, bad RAM, bad PSU...
 
what error are you getting on boot?

might run bootcfg /rebuild from the recover console.
 
right away it tries to boot off my onboard nic. (which i dont have it configured to do) and if i rebuild the mbr it works fine

it just worked fine a few hours ago....but i will keep that latest tip in mind :)

Well, if it is trying to boot from your onboard NIC then you probably have it set in the BIOS to do so.
