CREATE MBR

Dear Forumers,
During the installation of my new computer somehow Windows 7 wrote the MBR to disc 1 instead of disc 0 where the Windows operating system resides. In as much as this is not a problem for me, disc 1 is now starting to show signs of failure. Chkdsk /f is unable to repair this disc and diagnostic software from Western Digital confirms that the drive is failing.
Now I need to write the MBR to disc 0.
I did come across a tutorial on how to create an MBR but for the life of me I can’t locate it. Any help in this regard would be appreciated in order that I get this right the first time.

Those two links should be of assistance.

Just remember to unplug your failing drive when you fix the MBR.
Move your page file to the primary partition as well.
You can always move it back after.

As Win7 is already marked Active, just unplug DISK1, set Win7 HD as first HD to boot in BIOS setup (after DVD drive), boot the Win7 DVD Repair console or Repair CD to run Startup Repair up to 3 separate times with reboots until Win7 starts on its own. Startup Repair - Windows 7 Forums

Afterwards you can plug Disk1 back in to delete the 100mb partition in Disk Mgmt or using DIskpart "Force Delete override" command - just make sure it doesn't get set to boot first in BIOS.

I think you may be confusing the MBR with other things. This may help
reflect updates
You have two options
a) Move the system reserved partition to drive 0
System Reserved : Create Using Disk Management
OR
b) Incorporate the booting functions in system reserved boot functions including the MBR into drive 0.

I suggest you go with b)
Simply:
1) Disconnect drive 1 (the one currently with system reserved)
2) Using the System Repair Boot disk run the System Repair (repair my computer) 3 times.

thanks all for the help. I will try this today and see if I can get this done. One thing I did notice yesterday was when I went t the repair/restore console on the Win7 DVD, my operating system was not reflecting.

If Win7 doesn't show up in the Repair Console, choose from Recovery Options to open a Command Line, type:

bootrec.exe /fixmbr
bootrec.exe /fixboot

Then boot back in to see if it can find the installation to run the Repairs.

While these commands are automated in Startup Repair along with all other boot repair commands, sometimes one or both of them is required to cause the OS to be discovered by the Repair console.

Thanks all for the help. All sorted and working

Thanks Gregrocker. I followed your suggestion and all is sorted
