Does anyone know of any program that I could run to see if my boot sector is
corrupt? I have a Maxtor 250 hard drive and when I restarted my computer I
got a "Disk boot failure. Insert system disk and press enter". I pressed
enter 3 times only to receive the same error. However, when I completely
shutdown the computer and rebooted the 4th time, it was fine. After
installing a program, I needed to reboot again only to come to an infinite
looping self rebooting state. Currently I'm running a diagnostic test with
PowerMax boot diskette. No results as of yet.
If it turns out that everything passed diagnostics, what should I do?
TIA,
Newtechie
