My slave drive (D has become unaccesable and the error message I receive
is Corrupt Master File Table.

I have a Dual boot System with XP on the C: drive and Vista Beta on the D:
drive. I know I can boot from the XP CD and from the recovery console, run
the fxmbr and chkdsk/f commands, but what I don't know is if the Master File
Table was modified when I installed Vista on the D: drive, so I don't know
if I should use XP's tools or Vista's (MRE?) tools. If I use XP tools and
the file was modified by Vista, shoudn't I use Vista's tools?

Also, during my searches it seems that the Master Boot Record and Master
File Table have been discussed as if they're one in the same, are they? Can
fxmbr repair a Master File Table?

Thanks,
David
