Hey again guys, sorry for a delayed reply, I've been somewhat busy with other issues.

So, I've figured out that the boot sector of my OS Hard Drive is corrupted. The HD itself is fine, the partitions are as they should and all the data on it should be intact, but it fails to boot. My BIOS settings are also as they should be.

So, is there a way to repair a broken boot sector? I tried windows system recovery console's fixboot command but it didn't do the trick. I guess I could get a data recovery program somewhere and copy all the data from the HD and format it, but that sounds a bit too extreme. Could the HD be simply dead hardware wise, or is this just a soft side issue? Any ideas are warmly welcome :)
