You can use this tool to restore the boot sector on your computer. Run "bootsect /help" for detailed usage instructions.

It is located at your Windows installer directory called \boot

Let's go back to the guide...First, Find where's your DVD Drive is located (Windows Installer) and go to the boot directory, which in my case Drive F:

Next, type: bootsect(space)/nt60(space)Flash Drive Letter

C:\Windows\System32>f: F:\>cd boot F:\BOOT>bootsect /nt60 g: Target volumes will be updated with BOOTMGR compatible bootcode. G: (Error! Hyperlink reference not valid.) Successfully updated NTFS filesystem bootcode. Bootcode was successfully updated on all targeted volumes. F:\BOOT>
