Windows Backup & Recovery using Linux?

I have an old computer I let my children play on. We often download free/trial software use it for a while then get tired of it. As a result, I'm adding and removing software constantly. After a couple of months, the computer is seriously bloated and slow. So, I loaded a fresh copy of Windows XP and registered it. Then, I booted to a copy of Linux Live and copied the entire C drive to an empty partition. I then erased the C drive and copied the backup back to the orginal partition. Now, when I boot, I get a message saying, "NTLOADER missing." Why? It's exactly the same software.

Windows Backup %26amp; Recovery using Linux?

fdisk /mbr
Reply:Because you trashed the Master Boot Record.
