Default boot sector question

Found this in an old thread "The latest leapfrog lite/workstation/server do not need it since they recognize the 7's bootsector." by our good friend Pandlouk. Am I to understand that if I purchase a new Windows 7 pc, I will not need to do that replace the boot record trick anymore, that I can just install the greatest software program of all time directly on top of the Windows 7 master boot?

Thanks,
Acadia

Not sure I understand this question since there's a whole thread where Pandlouk starts with
Quote:
Before installing FD-ISR on windows 7 you will have to download and run either Bootsect_x86.exe (for 32bit) or Bootsect_x64.exe (for 64bit)

Bingo, I believe that I got it wrong. I believe Pandlouk was talking about FD-rescue, sorry about that. Post number 10 of this thread:

Hi Acadia,

yes I was referring FirstDefense Lite/workstation/server. Not to the FD-ISR.

About the bootsector. It is not anything to worry about both the method with the vista bootsector replacement and a normal installation (eg with the FD-lite) will overwrite the existing microsoft bootsector and replace it with the FD bootsector.
