How to repair a boot sector problem without the Windows disk?

Hello,

And welcome to another computer topic. I stumbled upon this question and decided to answer it.

If you know computers, then, as an expert, you know that a bad boot sector means a hard drive change (no Windows DVD's).

People are avoiding replacing a faulty hard drive and they try to fix it instead.

As an expert, my opinion is this.

If a component of your computer fails (hard drive or not) you should replace it.

Even if you get in the position where you have to replace the whole laptop or PC unit. It happens.


How to repair a boot sector?

You don't. You just replace the faulty hard drive component, reinstall the OS and move on.

It's not rocket science.


Why do I say that?

If a boot sector goes faulty, then any sector after it can go faulty. You end up with a faulty hard drive.

Wasting time fixing it, hoping it will recover with a HDD Regenerator App.

I used that and waited to scan hundreds of megabytes of data, while they are claiming that my hard drive just got magnetized and it needs inverted polarization.

As cars, so the PC's. You replace (not fix) the component, before you get in the position of buying a new engine.


The solution?

Throw your faulty hard drive to trash. Use those two options:

1. Buy a new internal hard drive (SATA or ATA):

                                                     SATA Version

ATA Version 

2. Use an external hard drive:

Don't waste your money and time fixing a faulty hard drive. Replace IT.

Wish you a lucky fix with it.
