The Boot Sector is an essential area of the hard drive that every other part of your hard drive relies on. When it fails, everything fails. To make matters worse, this area is hard for the normal user to access. This complexity gives a level of protection and also denies most users the ability to repair damaged files.
A boot sector virus can also damage the restore partition preventing you from re-installing everything.
Is it possible to recover from a boot sector virus? In short, Yes it is possible. I’s just not very easy.
If you are unable to fix it yourself, you can always call Computer Genius, we see this type of problem every day.
