Desktop did not boot - showed MBR 3 Error
had to boot from disk

Installed XP Recovery Console


So my question to gurus - how do you image a fresh install?

what disk did you boot from?

before doing anything else, i think it would be a good idea to find out why you got the mbr error in the first place.  you might have a bad hard drive.

if you rule out a bad hard drive, i would boot with an xp cd and go into the recovery console.  run fixmbr and then chkdsk /r

see if the computer will boot after that
