ripken204 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 can't you reacreate it by using an xpcd and booting into repair mode. but then i dont think that you would be able to boot into windows?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinbate Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 If you have a dos boot disk with fdisk on it try fdisk /mbr this will rewrite the mbr & all should be well.RegardsColin Bate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spapps Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 im sure this maybe a late entry but for others... in a similar situation do this:if running Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista:boot into recovery consolethen type:fixmbr and confirm, reboot the system and all should be well.if not, then do fixboot and reboot the system.also make sure you do a surface scan with WD's awesome diagnostic tools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcarle Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 First, test your hard drive using Western Digital's Data Lifeguard Diagnostic for DOS (Floppy),If then you have no errors, then rewrite the Master Boot Record using Western Digital's Data Lifeguard Tools 11 for DOS.
