Once I read that the Windows 7 installation disc could clean an infected MBR. I also found an article that suggested one tool to scan the MBR for viruses. And I also read that one MBR virus could prevent the loaded OS from writing to the MBR, but it could fool it in believing that the writing was successful.
- Does MS Security Essentials scans the MBR?
- Should I trust Geekstogo's MBRCheck.exe?
- What tools can help me to scan an clean my MBR?
- Will a Windows reinstall clean my MBR?
Answer
- Nothing can, I dont think
- Yes, to the extent its not a virus or anything, I don't know how helpful it will be.
- See here for how to rewrite your MBR.
- Bootstrapp from a read-only installation disc into the recovery console and use bootsect. Thank you @JdeBP
