    Dear Friends,

    I´ve had Windows XP and MAC OS 10 Leopard installed at my ONE. I´ve installed Windows 7 in another partition and it fucked up my Mac OS partition, it was unable to boot. I´ve tried all things to make mac os works again with no success.
    So, I made a shit, in console repair of windows xp, I fixboot and fixmbr. After that Windows keeps showing the blue screen.
    I tried to recovery the system, but ALT+f10 no works for me. So looking at internet, I´ve found this teaching how to recovery the ACER MBR.
    http://www.roundtripsolutions.com/blog/ ... ry-broken/

    But, When I access Acer Partition I haven´t found this program mbrwrdos.exe but it mbrwrwin.exe. So I execute the command to restore Acer MBR using mbrwrwin.exe.
    Booting the system, pressing ALT+F10, the system shows bootmng not found. Press key to boot the system.

    So, the ACER MBR in ACE Partition is not workink.

    My Acer Partition has Windows XP in Portuguese, so I´d like keep this.

    Anyone has a solution for me?

    Friends, I think I found my problem... I´ve made a partition backup just after the windows seven instalation, I think that Windows 7 changed the HD MBR. So the image made on Ghost it was already wrong.
    The solution was make a acer partition backup in another notebook, and restore it on mine.
    Just two questions about it:

    1 - Just after you restore the Acer partition, don´t forget it to make a new partition for Windows XP.
    2 - Change your Windows XP key, because windows will use the one of the other notebook.
