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 :)

Go back to the Recovery Console and type:
chkdsk /f /r
This will scan the disk for errors. The switches, /f and /r, will instruct the system to
fix and
repair any bad sectors it finds; if they are fix/repairable.
Then chances are, you will need to use the
bootfix command again, as your boot sector may still be damaged.
