I had an old friend call who had his MBR fail so he couldn't boot.
He had no MS floppy and no CD/DVD media for MS to use the
Recovery option. Here is how I fixed it for him. He is in Indiana.
I had him come up on Ubuntu 10.04 Live CD.
I then had him install teamviewer which gave me remote access to his
machine even though it was a Live CD. Teamviewer installed into ram.
I then had him use Applications - Ubuntu Software Center and download
a program called mbr. I read the destructions and then typed:
install-mbr /dev/sda
and he rebooted and everything worked again.
