    Two things come to mind:
    One is that you need to run a drive utility from the manufacturer on the HD.
    Second...in the bios, do you have virus protection enabled ...which would stop the system from writing to the MBR?

    If you don't know what the HD is, you will need to take the case off the tower and disconnect the drive and see if it is seagate/maxtor/etc.
    Then put it back in and using another puter ..go to their website ..they should have downloadable dirve utilities.
