System hang with blinking cursor

Good to be back and post some computer tip to VietCali.com. This time I want to share with you a fix to a computer problem I ran into last week: a corrupted MBR or Mater Boot Record. The symptom on my case is the system no longer boots into WinXp. All I see is blinking cursor on upper left conner of the monitor. How do I know it's corrupted MBR? Because I can boot the system from bootable USB so there is something wrong with my hard drive boot sequence and it only point to MBR. So if your system suddenly blinking on you, just try to fix the MBR on your hard drive. How? 1. Put the Windows XP installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer. 2. Press a key when you are prompted to boot up from CD. 3. Press "R" to start Recovery Console. 4. Enter your Administrator password. 5. At the input prompt, type FIXMBR and confirm with Y 6. Choose EXIT to reboot the system. 7. Remove the CD, and the system should now boots WinXp normally. No more blinking cursor on my case.
