After it boots with the startup disk, are you giving the proper partition to boot to in the command line? fdisk /mbr doesn't remove partitions - it only overwrites the master boot record, shouldn't effect the disk itself in any way. But you will need to know which partition is the boot partition in order to boot it with the startup disk. Possibly /dev/hda1?
