Error occurred while scanning MBR sector of the 2. physical disk. Error reading secto

Can anyone tell me what the deal is with this? I have not seen this on my pc before today but,I have installed many reatil copies onto customers comps and several say this same message and now I see it on mine.

I have only had this HDD for about 2 months at most so I doubt its the HDD so I'm leaning towards the possibility of a boot sector virus but would rather hear from you guys what it is for sure. Thanks in advance guys/gals

 

Hi . This is not a boot sector virus . This appears because NOD32 cannot scan the second boot boot sector . If you have an music player or copies/printer plugged , NOD32 cannot detect boot sectors in them and cannot scan them . And the error comes . Try to scan with unplugged devices and you'll see it

Ok,that makes sense for my pc but what about all my customers that I install NOD32 on? I certainly dont have my printer connected to their pc's and some times not all,I am reinstalling the OS and then installing NOD32,so their isnt any mp3 players or printers connected,any reason why this would occur ? Thanks again for the fast response.

 

This is not a problem . This is just a warning .To understand it better read this

What about customers ? Explain this to them just like you explain the blue files in the on-demand scanner log
