hello. ive been trying to fix my cousin's pc for quite a while now, and have done many things but have no solutions. i tried copying the ntldr file from the xp installation cd through recovery console and it didn't work. so i checked his partitions, and i have concluded that the wrong partition is set as active. problem is, i dont know how to change the one with the OS on it to active. i googled but found only very brief, undetailed things.
specs:
windows xp home
intel p4 2.6 ghz
about 1.5 gb ram
on sp1 for now, i had to take sp2 off to install recovery console
