Welcome to WinDrivers, agshare.
XP uses FIXMBR, but when attempting to overcome a Boot Virus, note the advice here:

As a btw a 98 bootdisk is a marvelous thing ;), you can find self extracting or image based files here at bootdisk.com (http://www.bootdisk.com) which handily give you a clean bootable source & have fdisk.exe on 'em ..
