Do not be fooled by the word *boot* sector, it has less to do with booting your PC and more to do with a with your partition. A corrupt or missing Boot Sector could be a serious problem. Without it the partition can not be accessed and your PC would be dead.

Technically, There is an incorrect value in the Partition Boot Record (PBR) on the hard disk. Any computer with a mis-match in the number of read/write heads reported by the Partition Boot Record and the system BIOS will likely report a 'Boot Sector Not Found.' 

  • Possible (but not all) symptoms include:
    • Invalid media type reading drive
    • Abort, Retry, Fail?
