Err4:VFloppy load failed, MBR Corrupt!

I am using Windows Xp SP2.

I used trueimage 8 to copy my EIDE data drive to a SATA Drive.
The process seemed to go fine and told me to press a key to shutdown.
After shutting down, I detached my original EIDE disk and powered up.
After the normal BIOS boot messages I got this error:

Err4:VFloppy load failed, MBR Corrupt!
Press any key to boot active partition.

Well I pushed a key and nothing happened.

I repeated the above after a number of cold resets and still get the same.

The trueimage Boot CD I created doesnt seem to have anything on it to help me.

I dont understand why my boot drive has been affected when I wasnt copying to or from this drive.

Does anyone know of a way of restoring my boot drive?

Hello LaupSavea,

Can't tell from your post but can we assume that you entered your motherboard's BIOS setup and changed the boot device from EIDE to SATA?

If you do eventually get it to boot you will probably need to carry out a Windows "Repair" reinstall in order to add your motherboard's SATA drivers.

Regards

 

LaupSavea hi

Have you tryed the fixmbr witch can be found on one of the stickies.

copy to floppy or cd and then boot with floppy or cd....

 

Hello tronic592001,

Please let me correct you a little bit. If you wish to fix MBR with the floppy using the tool described at Acronis Help Post you don't need to copy the file specified there to the floppy drive (actually, you won't be able to do that since it is larger than the floppy drive capacity). You need to run it with the floppy drive inserted and it will make the inserted floppy bootable.

Thank you.
