    Unfortunately that may be the case.

    Before you do a wipe and clean install, you might consider using some other tools to try and fix the MBR, perhaps a Knoppix Disk or a Bart's PE Disk.

    I'm a little foggy this a.m., but I believe if during the windows cd boot...it gives u the option of installing or reparing windows....if u choose repair u can type in chkdsk /r once your cursor starts to flash and while windows is running it will repair the corrupted files, it is not a fast process but it does correct the issues. It has been awhile since I've had to do this...any of u older members remember this?....

    Not neccesarliy, if you read at the top of that article I posted a link to, some recovery Cd's don't give you the option of doing that, and mine are one of those.
