I want to remove my PATA 200gb hdd housing XP from my computer chasis, but right now I need it because it houses my MBR. I'd like to put my MBR onto my new TB hdd housing win7RC, but the win7RC setup cd doesnt have anyway to do this afaik. Am I missing something? Would fixmbr still work in a dos terminal if I could get to one?

Have not tried this, but try booting to the Windows 7 install DVD. Select the HD you want and choose repair start up problems.

I've tried that, but it doesn't seem to recognize the windows7 install on the repair disk screen. 'Tis why I ask :)
