Hi,

Must to know more about this case....
Did you check the MBR protection in BIOS?
Did you try to overwrite the MBR from Linux?

dd if=/dev/[DEVICE] of=mbr-backup.bin bs=1K count=1

This is for backup

dd if=[1k file, what you want] of=/dev/[DEVICE] bs=1K count=1

This is for overwrite.

sync

Thats all.

Yes, but need some more info.

If you boot to linux, post the dmesg output!

symple type to the prompt with root: "dmesg"
or dmesg | less

Alternatively you can watch this by this way also: cat /var/log/dmesg | less

(dd's if parameter is input file of is output file. (file, or device).)
