How to Fix bootloader using Compaq recovery cd
I have a compaq presario system and as you all know HP/Compaq do not supply actual windows cd apart from the recovery cds. Well I want to dual boot windowsxp home and linux. Because of problem with installing the linux boot loader on my compaq -due to that recovery partition, I will use the windows boot loader.
However after making changes to the boot.ini file, i need to rebuild the bootloader with the command bootcfg /rebuild. Trouble is it requires the windows install cd which I don't have. I only have the recovery cd. Is it possible to acheive the result i want using the recovery cd? Because otherwise i have to buy a windows cd just for that! Which i don't even want to contemplate because the mere thought send my blood pressure rising.
Thanks for your help.

If it prompts for a Windows CD, re direct the location to C:\I386. This has all the Windows installation files.
