    just found this 5 Free Tools to Backup and Restore Master Boot Record (MBR) Raymond.CC Blog Worth a try. I cant vouch for any of them personally, but 5 free tools are better than 1 you gotta pay for! :) And if your not that comfortable with using the windows command line, this looks nice...

    Windows 7 Dual Boot W7 & Linux (Fedora Core 11)

    Only Apple fanboys love Apple after this...

    Windows 7 Amazing Network Problem.
