No, you CANNOT copy an MBR from another disk. The MBR is made in TWO parts, first one is "STATIC" meaning that is common code to all MBR's written from a given Operating System, second one is "DYNAMIC" meaning that has data (Partition Tables and, in the case of win2k/XP/2003, a "signature") that ONLY belongs to THAT HD/System. MBRFix replaces the STATIC data with standard one, and can change the signature. NO changes are made to the Partition Table. So if your Partition Table is good but the STATIC part is not, MBRFIX is the tool for you. If your MBR is ok but the Partition Table is not, you will need a tool like TESTDISK: http://www.cgsecurity.org/testdisk.html or a Hex/Disk editor, a lot of patience AND some good knowledge of the inner workings of Partition Tables to correct the problem. A handy utility to change PT easily - but you still have to KNOW what you are doing - is Beeblebrox: http://students.cs.byu.edu/~codyb/ http://students.cs.byu.edu/~codyb/bbdownload.html jaclaz
