Yes, if the MBR really was damaged, you would not be able to boot from the drive, so this does not make much sense. Where exactly do you see this message about the MBR and what exactly does it say?

Hi

      I have problem and I would like to confirm with you that this is the
solution that I found on the Internet. A virus apparently did something to
my MBR because when I boot up it says cannot read MBR boot sector disk
problem. Now, what is different from everybody else on the intenet is that
I can boot to my Linux no problem and safe boot to my windows 2000. It
seems to me that if i had a MBR problem that I could not boot up either
one.

One solution I found is that execute the following

grub-install --root-directory=/boot  /dev/hda5


Do you concur ?


Thank You for your help
