Hi anybody know where I can find a good MBR rebuilder. Or a program along the lines of spinrite but not as time intensive ?

 

Thanks for the help.

what the hell is a MBR rebuilder ? Na lol

 

here ya go ;

 

1. First, restart your computer with the Windows XP setup disk in the CD drive. If you don’t have your original disk, borrow one or download a ISO image from a torrent site.

2. When prompted, boot from the CD drive by pressing any key. If Windows loads automatically, you will first have to enter the BIOS setup and change the order of the boot devices to start with the CD drive.

3. Once the setup loads, you will see the option to press R to repair a Windows installation.

4. Once the Recovery Console loads up, you will have to type in a number that corresponds to your Windows installation. This is normally just 1. Press Enter and then type in the Administrator password.

5. Now at the prompt, type in fixmbr. Your damaged MBR will now be replaced with a new master boot record and your computer should now be able to boot properly. Note that you may also want to run the fixboot command to repair the boot sector with a new one.

Also, make sure you only use these commands on a system with one operating system installed. If you have more than one operating system installed, fixmbr and fixboot could mess up everything.

This would be for win 7 I'm asumming it would be the same ? And would any win 7 disk work on a gateway lap top. ReasonI'm asking is th edaughtere crashed her machine I think while it was downloading something . Thats why I think the loader is corrupted. I can use spinrite but thats 4 or 5 days (maybe) So I thought I would ask if there's a quicker way to do it. A live disk set up perhaps ??
