From time to time, usually due to hardware failure or virus infection, a boot sector may become corrupted. If the partition is the active primary partition, or a partition containing operating system files, this can prevent the system from starting. Otherwise, it may simply prevent access to data on the drive.

A boot sector is a sector of a hard disk, floppy disk, or similar data storage device that contains code for bootstrapping programs (usually, but not necessarily, operating systems) stored in other parts of the disk. In other words, in here is stored the necessary data to boot up your computer, if you have Windows 2000/XP, you can boot up your system with your Windows CD and go to recovery console option, once you get to the prompt type fix boot, type "y" for yes and reboot your computer without the CD. This will rewrite your boot sector, if this does not work your hard drive is most likely gone bad and need to replace it.
