Wouldn't it be possible to repair such a drive with Active@killdisk ?

you could just boot from a xp cd, go into the recovery console and fixmbr.

of course most people would panic and re-install

@muchspl2 are you trying to start microsoft patch gold

That's not entirely true. There have been some viri that corrupt CMOS data so in effect kill motherboards.

I know that CMOS chips can be replaced but that sometimes becomes not worthwhile if you think about costs, shipping, time and what newer boards have to offer. Its easier to replace such a motherboard.
