7. I think the installation software (Maxblast) had an mbr repair option.
It didn't explain very well what that did, so I didn't want to mess anything up and didn't use it.

Is one /mbr pretty much like another or do you think I might be better off using the /mbr repair tool that came with the hard drive?

Thanks for you help!
