old topic but i'm going to put my 2 cents.yes people can do a recovery with the xp cd..but, I have a windows box, lots of *nix boxes, but one windows box, i had linux on it and some crazy drive setup using grub, take all the drives out and leave the windows drive and the mbr is messed up.. i don't have a windows diskthis was helpful for me.as far as techy side, i have xp cd's, i have ubuntu cd's, the ubuntu cd's are used most, even when doing windows repair stuff.
This article has just saved me, I have been trying to figure out away to repair my mbr for days now (without the use of windows xp cd)my boot partition was corrupt and I was not able to boot using cd. ms-sys -m was nice and quick. I already had fedora 10 installed so a quick yum install ms-sys and running ms-sys -m saved the day. thanks guys!

Most OEM systems don't come with an OS CD now days. You either make a recovery CD, which most people don't or you have a recovery partition.
