If the Windows XP Bootloader gets erased or corrupted, you can repair it without a complete reinstall. Below describes how to do this. More useful Windows tips can be found at WindowsInternals.com.

Disclaimer: Attempt this at your own risk, I assume no responsibility for any data lost.

Boot from the Windows XP CDROM in to the “Recovery” prompt. If you have not set an Administrator password, leave it blank. The Windows XP documentation (Help and Support) has a section on the Recovery Console if you’d like to learn more.

Then run:

bootcfg /rebuild
fixboot
fixmbr

Search Engine Positioning
by Fredrick W. Marckini

When this book was written (2001!), this title was the only book you could get on the topic. It covered lots of technical details on how each of the major engines work and lots of tips and tricks for SEO professionals or web developers alike. The world of search engines moves so quickly, it was never going to remain current for very long, however it was an excellent read for a long period of time. An updated version would be excellent.
