    it needs to modify your MBR, please quit the AV/Firewall/HIPS when installing.

    Maybe your BIOS has the virus protection option enabled. it can protect your MBR. too

    I found the problem but couldn´t resolve it.
    FD-ISR was the problem. I installed an old version two or three weeks ago as trial. This version has modified the mbr. How could i restore the mbr as it was before FD-ISR installed.
    PS: It is a tool in the FD-ISR installation folder called mbrtool. how could i use it. it seems that it needs a floppy drive, which i haven´t.
    please help!

    Did you remove FDISR before installing Rollback. If yes FDISR was removed from the mbr.

    If you got a clean FDISR uninstall, then it wasn't the problem. It could have been a faulty Rollback install or any number of other things.

    Just curious why you felt FDISR was the problem, assuming the uninstall was clean.

    FDISR was the only software i installed which had modified the mbr, that´s why i thougt it was the problem.

    It does, but uninstalling removes it. Actually disabling preboot in the earlier versions also removed it. You may be the victim of the nastiest computer problem...coincidence.
